SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. – The Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) is now accepting applications for mini-grants of up to $700 each to fund CycleMAYnia activities during National Bike Month in May 2026.
“Sometimes it’s the small things — snacks, prizes, or flyers — that make an activity possible,” said Peter Williamson, SBCAG transportation planner.
Popular events are expected to return, including the Chicano Culture de Santa Barbara Cinco de Mayo Mural Ride, Guadalupe Bike Parade, Mayors’ Ride, Trail Mix Ride, Bike to Ice Cream, and TLC for Your Bici.
HISTORY OF CYCLEMAYNIAFounded in 2009, CycleMAYnia began as a community brainstorming effort to spark a stronger bike culture in Santa Barbara County.
Inspired by events and programs in communities outside of Santa Barbara County, SBCAG engaged community organizations and the cycling community as partners to build and co-manage a dynamic calendar of activities celebrating National Bike Month each May.
