New Cuyama Local Takes Home the Santa Barbara E-Bikery Grand Prize at 17th Annual CycleMAYnia

For 15-year-old Finn Price, Bike Month began with a bike safety lesson during a physical education class and a family outing to the first-ever CycleMAYnia event Bike to Buckhorn in New Cuyama, hosted by the Cuyama Joint Unified School District. It ended with an unexpected surprise: winning the grand-prize e-bike giveaway that capped a month-long celebration of bicycling.

Price’s participation in New Cuyama’s inaugural CycleMAYnia event earned him a raffle entry that was selected as the winner of the monthlong celebration’s grand-prize drawing. He received an AIMA Big Sur e-bike donated by E-Bikery in Santa Barbara during CycleMAYnia’s grand finale at Goleta Beach, where the prize was presented by E-Bikery Owner Fernando Tessari.

CycleMAYnia Will Return in 2027…

CycleMAYnia began in 2009 as a community effort to spark a stronger bike culture in Santa Barbara County. SBCAG engages community organizations and the cycling community as partners to build and co-manage a dynamic calendar of activities celebrating National Bike Month each May. 

Every year, individuals, teams, and employers compete in a “Bike Challenge” by logging rides. UCSB and Cottage Health defended their “Gold” and “Platinum” title trophies with the 2026 Bike Challenge at SmartRide.org. 

When people ask what Measure A transportation investments really look like, CycleMAYnia is a great example. Mini grants turn funding into experiences families, neighbors and co-workers can enjoy together, while also supporting bike education and making biking activities visible, accessible, and fun.

The following sponsors made 2026 CycleMAYnia activities possible: Santa Barbara E-Bikery, Cottage Health, Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District, Central Coast Clean Cities Coalition (C5), Santa Ynez Valley Transit, and EcoStiks.
