The Bike Campaign & Davis Bike Club
Very basic bike mechanic help and a limited supply of helmets, from the two cycling nonprofits that co-host the festival and lead the parade.
The Bike Campaign and the Davis Bike Club co-host the Zombie Bike Parade Festival with the Davis Odd Fellows Lodge #169, and they are the reason the parade moves at all. Their volunteers ride it as ride leaders, ride guides and crossing guards, getting several thousand costumed people out to Mace Ranch Park and back again.
They also run a station at Community Park on festival day.
At their station
- Very basic bike mechanic help. Air in a tire, a chain back on, a seat or a brake straightened out: the small fixes that stop a bike ending somebody’s afternoon. Anything bigger than that needs a bike shop.
- Helmets for anyone who forgot theirs, in limited supply. Come by early if you need one.
About The Bike Campaign
The Bike Campaign was founded in 2011 by Maria Contreras Tebbutt with a single aim: make cycling available to everyone. That means children with disabilities, seniors, people who have never owned a bicycle and people whose bicycle is sitting broken in a garage. Its workshop, The Bike Garage, has locations in Davis and Woodland. There is more on their festival partner page, or visit thebikecampaign.org.
About the Davis Bike Club
The Davis Bike Club has organized recreational and competitive cycling in Yolo County since 1979. If you have ridden a supported century out of Davis, you have probably ridden one of theirs. They joined as the festival’s third host in 2024, the year the open ride became a led parade, and moving that many first-time group riders safely takes people who know how to run a ride. There is more on their festival partner page, or visit davisbikeclub.org.
