Ride Ready at Mather Veteran’s Village
Yesterday morning, I went to the SABA staff meeting and learned a receptionist was needed today for a bike repair clinic at Mather Veteran’s Village.
Mather Veteran’s Village provides critically needed veteran housing with supportive services located on the former Mather Air Force base in Rancho Cordova. It provides 50 permanent supportive homes for formerly homeless and disabled veterans plus transitional housing for many more. SABA brought 15 rehabilitated bicycles to give away.
My station:
Many happy customers.

Time to celebrate all the bicycling achievements of the past year. The patio was ready to go, back gate open, bicycle parking in the garage.
Four of our group, all residents at Four Seasons Westshore, had advertising banners put up around N Natomas for a Jibe project called Wisdom Travels. At the end of a year, all the participants were given copies of their banners. If you would like to read their stories go to jibe.org/placemaking/wisdom-travels. L-R: Cathy, Ray & Donna, Amal, Laura:
It was COLD outside so we all stayed indoors.

Arlete’s BIG – Year 2
On November 15, year 2 of Arlete’s Bicycle Interest Group ended. The group has grown in the past year from 73 to 112 members and the total miles ridden increased by about 2000 miles. Almost 2/3 have taken a bicycle education class from Jibe – either Better on Bikes or Pedal Up Natomas.
The top 15 riders accumulated 88% of the total miles:
Another quite successful year.
