Adult Learn to Ride
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.
Mother’s Day
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.

Ready to Ride
By 9:00 Saturday morning, we were set up to fit and sell helmets and locks. I worked with Michelle and Elaine:
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.
Garden and gecko
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.
Project Ride Smart
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.
Ride the City
This ride started at City Hall and with a planned ending time of 8:00 in Oak Park. I did not want to ride back to the start point alone and later in the evening, so I drove to the end point early and rode to City Hall, arriving way too early of course since I didn’t know how this would work exactly.
Jennifer Donlon-Wyant organized this ride with City engineers and planners to tour bicycling infrastructure in Downtown Sacramento. 91 people signed up however only half that number showed up – whew, managing 90+ people on a downtown ride would have been challenging. Thanks to Deb and Rob from SABA for providing help at major intersections.
Stop #1 to learn about improvements to P, Q, and 21st Streets and the new ACE train station which will have no gas-burning vehicle parking but upgraded access for active transportation users.
Our final stop near Broadway in Oak Park:
What a great ride and I learned a lot. Bicycle infrastructure continues to grow in Sacramento.

Class #2. Another evening with many successful new bike riders.
Loopalooza
I met Brenda and Lennore at the train station in Davis.
We rode the 12-mile town loop with 11 different stations to celebrate Loopalooza. We started at the SABA booth. Hillary and Rob:
