Many people rode their bikes to REI for a presentation by Erick Cedeno.
Erick Cedeno has bicycle-toured from Vancouver BC to Tijuana MX, followed the Underground Railroad from New Orleans to Niagara Falls, and followed the trail of two bicycle expeditions by the USArmy in 1896 and 1897 by 20 black soldiers from Fort Missoula to St Louis. A very interesting presentation.
The City of Sacramento is adding five e-trikes to their library of things at the Colonial Heights branch.
Before checking out an e-trike, users must acknowledge that they’ve watched the training videos provided so they know how to operate, charge, lock, and properly use the bike on the street.
Pierson, Becky and I met a couple of city employees at Colonial Heights library and we went through a script of short video clips to demonstrate all the elements.
I demonstrated how to use the (very heavy) lock while being filmed.
Becky, friend and fellow LCI, she’s great to work with.
Sophia graduated from 8th grade at St Ignatius this morning. Front row: Avery and Carson. Middle row: Thais and Lenin. Third row: Leah, Lauren, Jeff, Rita, Lino.
Sophia was one of 6 valedictorians, was chosen Female Athlete of the Year, and received some scholarship money for Christian Brothers High School.
Wednesday evening, Sacramento County Bicycle Advisory Committee meeting.
Thursday evening at Sacramento City Hall,
Active Transportation Commission.
Our section of the bike tech classroom where the bikes for our program are stored.
Another successful Tuesday evening although it was quite hot. We had about 8 students and most of them are now bike riders. Our volunteers were especially helpful. They arrive 30 minutes before class begins to remove pedals from all the bikes and stay 30 minutes after to put them all back on. Thank you !! Paul, Leo, Kathy, Lennore.
Darn, I didn’t feel well and couldn’t go to the celebration, but Thais and family came by afterward with leftovers, flowers and cards.

Nearby, Bike Doc was taking in bikes for repair:
The third area had strider bikes (no pedals) ready for children ages 2-7 to learn how to balance and scoot on a bike.
Happy customers! When I asked to take a picture, the boys struck a pose – lol.
I picked up Sophia, Avery, and Carson after school. Carson gave me a tour of the newly-planted garden
and showed my how big Rusty the gecko has gotten. The dark blue lips are from a tootsie pop – with a center of gum.
Tuesday at Witter Ranch, I volunteered with Jane to sweep the street rides. At the end of the day for one class, I subbed for Deanna who needed to leave early. With LCI Doug, I rode with the yellow group:
Wednesday, I subbed for Deanna for the first two classes. Hurray! Emiliano learned to ride.
Thursday, the last day of street rides. I rode sweep for Doug.
