Bike To Work Day!

Thursday, October 6 (that's tomorrow!) is Santa Cruz County's Fall Bike to Work/School Day so be sure to pump up those tires, put on your helmet and make a difference - while actually having fun getting around Santa Cruz!

With our many bike paths, recent road improvements for cyclists, lovely weather and scenic ocean views, our area is the perfect place to travel by bike. Plus, during Bike to Work, there are 16 free breakfast sites from Watsonville to UCSC to fuel you with fresh coffee, orange juice and tasty local treats.

If it's been a while since you've ridden around town, you might want to brush up on your safe cycling skills by viewing these two helpful Ecology Action videos that show Santa Cruz roads and tips for making left turns and taking the lane. Also, if your bicycle needs a little TLC, most bicycle shops will do their best to fit you in if you call early and tell them you need your bike checked so you can participate in Bike to Work Day.

I'll see you out there. Have fun!
