We met at Sunriver Park in Rancho Cordova in the early evening.
SABA’s new Executive Director, Becky Garrow, was the tour leader. There were riders from 50 Corridor TMA, SABA, and American River Bike Patrol.
Just a 10-mile ride on the American River Bike Trail. Becky shared lots of information about the surrounding area, bridges, and the American River. Quite interesting.
RSA = Road Safety Audit for the SacRT Safe Routes to Transit grant. This bus just happened to be nearby, it was not a part of our audit.
City of Folsom traffic engineers, representatives from Civic Thread, DKS Consulting, and SABA (me) walked along streets with high injury or fatalities statistics and noted hazards or obstructions to safely walking or biking to access public transit.
E Bidwell St: five lanes wide, fast-moving traffic, no bike lanes, up to 1 1/2 miles between pedestrian crossings means improvement needed.
Christian Brothers prom was Saturday evening at the Sheraton downtown. Apparently going to the State Capitol and the surrounding gardens is the thing to do these days to take before-prom pictures. With at least three other high schools having their proms tonight, there were hundreds of well-dressed teens along with family members taking LOTS of pictures.
A group of 16 people met on Saturday morning at Peregrine Park and rode to W Sacramento for the Breathe Bike Fest – the kickoff event for May is Bike Month. This was a Jibe-organized ride.
On Friday evening I rode sweep for BarbaraL on a ride featuring the Velo Lancer program at Cordova High School which is sponsored by the American River Bike Patrol.
Lots of Patrollers on this ride, just one veteran Velo Lancer, and Charlie!
