San Leandro Plans for Bike to Work Day

This Thursday, May 14 is Bike to Work Day and San Leandro is going all-in.

“I can’t stress enough what an important role biking and walking can play in our community,” noted Mayor Pauline Russo Cutter. “Incorporating these routines into our daily lives and leaving your car at home can help in so many ways, from enhancing our own personal health, to reducing traffic congestion and helping to sustain our Earth. I encourage anyone who is able, to join me in biking or walking to work or school on May 14th.”

As part of the event, Mayor Cutter and Council Member Corina Lopez will lead a mile-long bike ride between Memorial Park (located at 1105 Bancroft Avenue) and the San Leandro BART station starting at 8:00 a.m.

Dr. Sheila Donnelly, D.C. of Healing Hands Chiropractic Studio, will be hosting an energizer station there.

During the morning commute from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., the San Leandro Engineering and Transportation Department will host an additional energizer station at the San Leandro BART station, which is one of 82 such stations being set up throughout the Bay Area.

Complimentary water, juice, coffee and pastries will be available for participating bicyclists.

There will also be swag bags at the stations, while supplies last.
