The Kaiser Permanente Bike to Work Day Corporate Challenge APPROACHES!!!

For some, it’s a way of life. For some, it seems impossible. For others, it’s an event that happens once a year and causes them to dust their bike off and ride it to and from work for a single day in May. Whatever it means to you, on May 23rd, Kaiser Permanente Fresno Bike to Work Day Corporate Challenge is happening and this year it’s better than ever. There are amazing prizes being drawn for riders who participate, a great looking new website and it’s so easy to make a team and get miles recorded this year.

BIKE LANES IN FRESNO NEED YOUR HELP!!!

Gettysburg from Fresno Street to Winery is due for bike lanes! 

Fresno City Council will be voting on THURSDAY, MAY 24 on a proposed bike lane/road diet on Gettysburg from Fresno Street to Winery. There is warranted concern that Council could vote against this road diet so we need everyone who supports bike lanes to make some noise.  

Down With Training Wheels

Slate posted this interesting article on training kids to ride a bicycle. He makes a case that balance bikes are better than training wheels for teaching a child to ride a bike and I would agree. 

"It’s unclear when training wheels became popular, although historians suggest the early 1900s seem most likely. But it’s apparent whythey became popular. They were an obvious solution to an obvious problem: How do you convince someone to climb onto something that is obviously going to fall over?"

May 9 is the Mall-to-Mall Ride

Presented by the Fresno County Bicycle Coalition (FCBC), hop on your bike for a fun ride straight down the middle of Blackstone in the Annual Mall-To-Mall Ride on Wednesday, May 9.

The Fresno Police Department stops traffic and allows bikes to take back the road for a few miles. You’ll be riding alongside local elected officials, community leaders, business owners and bike enthusiasts from the Manchester Mall SEARS parking lot and down the Fulton Mall. Then hang out for snacks, pictures and community.
