The City of Davis and the UC Davis Department of Design invite the community to attend the Seventh Annual Bicycle Scavenger Hunt on Saturday, May 30, from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The event will begin on G Street in front of Temple Coffee Roasters. Clues will be distributed promptly at 10:30 a.m.

The event is free and open to the public. Participants of all ages are welcome to join using bicycles or scooters.

This year’s theme, “Music,” takes participants on a fun-filled ride through Davis as they solve clues and complete challenges to help “The Freewheelers” get their sound back together. Along the way, riders will explore the community, discover local landmarks and enjoy a creative, family-friendly adventure. Following the scavenger hunt, prizes will be awarded on closed portion of G Street for the fastest families and fastest racers.

Since launching in 2017, the City of Davis Active Transportation Program and students from the UC Davis Department of Design have partnered to create interactive bicycle scavenger hunts that encourage residents to explore Davis in a fun and educational way. Previous themes have included “Cycle-delic” (2017), “Branching Out” (2019), “Pedal Playoffs” (2023) and “Creature Quest” (2025).

The City would like to thank the following businesses for generously donating prizes for this year’s event: Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District, ASUCD Bike Barn, Cloud Forest Cafe, Ike’s Sandwiches, Watermelon Music, ASUCD Coffee House, Newsbeat, The Basement Gallery, Redwood Barn Nursery, Armadillo Music, Woodstock’s Pizza, Akiba HQ, Yerba Madre and Safeway.
