   - 2.5-mile Family Ride: Ride through the neighborhood and along the new Regnart Creek Trail to Wilson park, stop for a scavenger hunt, and earn a chance to win cool raffle prizes! All are welcome on this short, family-friendly ride. Cupertino's Transportation Manager, David Stillman, will lead this ride along with Bicycle Pedestrian Commissioners.

If your bike needs more attention than that or something is broken, please take it to a bike shop for a tune-up before the Bike Fest.
