Bike to Work Day – May 18
Guess what the tallest hill is in Modesto? It’s the Briggsmore overpass. That means that Modesto is pretty flat and that makes it good for bicycling. It is crazy that its only approximately 5 miles from the city limits to downtown and it is super easy to ride to restaurants on the weekend for a Sunday Fun Day or to our local parks. But heads up though as so many people are texting while driving, it is more dangerous to be on a bike, so that is why it is so important to promote bike safety and awareness. Drivers, get off your phone! Cyclists, follow the motor vehicle rules! It’s pretty simple. If you bike to work downtown Modesto, on May 18, there will be snacks and goodies from 6:30 – 8 am.
Please also lookout for helmet safety programs being offered by the Stanislaus Regional Transit. Keep those kids and yourself safe out there. For kid safety tips, schedules and updates, www.facebook.com/safekidsstanislaus/<www.facebook.com/safekidsstanislaus/>
