MiBM Kickoff

May is Bike Month is here! Ten of us met Pierson at the bike/ped bridge near Peregrine Park at 10:30 am. Yes, there were 10 of us: Agueda is in the background calling out to Minerva to hurry up.

SABA and Breathe California had a kickoff event at River Park in West Sacramento .. which is directly across the river from Old Sacramento. The brown lumps at the end of the dock are two local sea lions.

Stowing our bikes at Bike Valet:

Gina, today a vendor – Gadget Girl Goods – was the instructor for Jibe’s Earn-a-Bike which is how BarbaraL met her.

Kids Bike Party

A big Jibe event. Mellissa Meng, Executive Director at Jibe, and Missy Alfranji from City Councilmember Lisa Kaplan’s office:

From Mayor Steinberg’s office:

A blender bike being assembled:

My station with co-workers, Terri and Cathy, was Ready to Ride mostly for ages 2-7.

Strider bikes with no pedals or smaller bikes with pedals. We taught one girl how to ride for sure, another girl was 7/8 successful until the final spill with scraped hands. She worked for over an hour and definitely gets an A for perseverance.

Special thanks to Rachel, Lillie and Brenda who rode along on the 4-mile family ride. Coletha and Diana monitored an intersection.

SABA Social Ride

Brenda, BarbaraL and I rode in from N Natomas. Because Discovery Park was closed due to flooding, our safest choice to get across the river was Highway 160. We used the on ramp from Northgate Blvd, took the lane while 45 mph-traffic moved left to go around us. Being Sunday morning, there wasn’t a lot of traffic. Just after crossing the river, we were able to move right onto a Class IV cycle track onto 12th St. We met at Drip Espresso at 24th & J Streets.

At 10:30, the ride began: a tour of murals created by and featuring women.

Thanks to everyone who kept sending me pictures and miles ridden while I was in Cuba. A shout-out to Manolo, our bicitaxi driver in Remedios: Great turn signal and check over his shoulder before making a left turn.

Yes, it was COLD. Me, Jim, Brenda, Lillie, Lennore, Rachel:

In February, a bicyclist can expect the first 70-degree days. We had one, barely. Now, at the end of the month, it’s cold and rainy. Good for California drought conditions but not so good for cycling.
