East Sac / Folsom bike activitites
Just getting the word out early. I was reminded by an unsolicited email from "50 Corridor Transportation Management Assoiation" on the topic of "Bike Month Newsletter #1 " whose links took me quickly into the briar patch where advocacy and government intertwine. I suppose they got my email address from the Bike Month website, which does not seem to be up to speed for 2015 just yet. I was going to bloviate about it all but the city website does a better job. From the city of Folsom website:
NEW! Family Fun Ride

All ages are welcome; the ride is non-competitive. All riders must wear a helmet. Bring your own water/snacks as needed.
