The family that rides together thrives together! Safe road bicycling takes a lot more than balance, a helmet and a good attitude.

This workshop is for kids able to ride a bike and who are ready to ride on the roadways with their parents. Parents and kids must attend together and should bring their own bikes. Each child receives a free red blinky light for participating!

HELMET FITTINGS & GIVEAWAYS – MIDDLE SCHOOLS
Thank you to our Helmet Giveaway sponsors for providing helmets to middle school students this year. We had three successful Helmet Fitting & Giveaway events at our three middle schools which provided approximately 90 helmets to students. Funds for the Helmet Giveaways are provided in part by a grant from the Valley Spokesmen in cooperation with the City of Pleasanton, BAAQMD and Alameda County Transportation Commission. 
THANK YOU TO OUR 2013 BIKE TO WORK DAY SPONSORS:
