Wayward in Hayward — Monthly Community Ride
Free monthly social ride around Hayward organized by 2026 Alameda County Bike Champion Alejandro Jasso. One hour of flat, easy cycling on the 3rd Wednesday.
The vibe
Neighborhood slow roll, local love
Wayward in Hayward is what happens when a committed local cyclist decides his city deserves a better ride scene. Alejandro Jasso, the 2026 Alameda County Bike Champion, organized this monthly community ride through Bike Hayward as an accessible, neighborhood-scale way to bring people together around cycling. Every third Wednesday, 6:30 to 9 PM, from Hayward City Hall Plaza.
The ride runs about an hour, covering flat terrain through Hayward neighborhoods at a pace that invites conversation and includes everyone — newcomers, families, commuters, people who haven’t ridden in years. The destination rotates: sometimes a local restaurant, sometimes a park, always somewhere with enough reason to linger after the ride. It’s a deliberate effort to build the kind of cycling culture that makes a city more livable.
Free and open to all abilities. No RSVP needed. Just show up at City Hall Plaza on the third Wednesday and follow along — Hayward’s streets are better with company.
