Summary
City officials presented a proclamation recognizing May as National Bike Month and welcomed Litterdag (Litter Dog/Lillerdag) bike-ride members to the dais to accept the proclamation.
Costa Mesa — Mayor John B. Stevens presented a proclamation at the May 6 City Council meeting declaring May 2025 as National Bike Month in Costa Mesa and recognized local cycling group Litterdag.
The proclamation cited the League of American Bicyclists’ national observance and highlighted cycling’s health, environmental and economic benefits. Joel Medina, speaking for the Litterdag group, accepted the proclamation and described the group’s Wednesday-night tradition, its community-building role and advocacy for safer cycling infrastructure.
Why it matters: The proclamation formalizes the city’s support for bicycle infrastructure, safety education and community programming and encourages residents to participate in bike-month events and safe-routes-to-school efforts.
Council comments: Council member Reynolds praised the growth of the Litterdag rides and the community benefits of cycling; the mayor and council members encouraged residents to join local rides and city bike events.
Next steps: The proclamation notes city support for continued investment in bike infrastructure and a safe routes to school action plan targeting improvements around 23 school campuses; no ordinance or funding decision was attached to the proclamation.
