Re: California Bike Commute 1995
Thursday, May 4, 1995 is California Bike Commute Day-also known as "Bike to Work
Day"—a great opportunity to encourage commuters to ride their bikes for transportation.
The purpose of California Bike Commute 1995 is to celebrate the benefits of bicycle
commuting on a single day, statewide, to encourage the regular use of bicycles for
transportation.
Bicycle transportation is, of course, non-polluting and saves energy, but it also adds to the
"quality of life" by reducing traffic noise and congestion along with promoting physical
fitness.
The California Bicycle Coalition and the American Lung Association of California have
worked with many groups and individuals in over fifty California communities to
promote the California Bike Commute as a part of the Lung Association's "Clean Air
Week" and"National Bike Month." On May 4th, the mayors of Los Angeles, San
Francisco, and Oakland will lead off the day by riding to work. Sacramento will host a
noontime bicycle parade to the Capitol, along with an organized ride home along the
American River Bike Trail. I urge you to join our celebration of bicycle commuting in
your community.
If you have any questions about how to participate in the organized activities, you may
also call the statewide information number: 1-800-679-BIKE (2453), or Tom Higgins
of my Capitol staff at : 916/445-3952.
Enclosed is a copy of SCR 25 which proclaims Thursday, May 4th as California Bike
Commute Day. Also enclosed is a list of communities and individuals who have
expressed their support for this effort.
