City of Pomona Bike to Work Day

Here are hot off the press photos of Pomona, California 1st ever bike to work day sponsored by the city. given our limited resources, it was a huge success – 33 riders showed up at city hall alone – and we know more rode but went on to work at the school district HQ, cal poly and other places. school superintendent Richard martinez rode 25 miles from whittier, councilmember cristina Carrizosa walked from south Pomona, and councilmember ginna Escobar rode – on a bike for the 1st time in 15 years, from Phillips ranch. Coates bike shop had a vendor table set up – and Athens services (our street sweeper contract) provided food. Also included are our new city hall and library bike racks!

Overall – a very positive event that demonstrated the health, community and mobility possibilities of cycling!
