Explore New Haven by bicycle
Rock to Rock is New Haven’s biggest Earth Day celebration. Here’s how it works: You and a few hundred others travel from West Rock and East Rock, with celebrations on both sides of the city. Along the way, eat tasty food, hear great music, take on environmental service projects, and explore our city’s parks and neighborhoods.
All are welcome
Families and college students, serious riders and weekend warriors are all part of Rock to Rock. Join our rock band.
Think you’re hard-core? Take detours to the top of the two rocks, or take our 20- or 60-mile routes.
Have a little kid in tow? Join us for part of the ride. If you are riding with someone under 18, or are under 18 yourself, get more information here.
