Bike to Work Day May 15

posted on May 12, 2008 12:31 PM by Philippe Alexis
On Thursday May 15, communities throughout the Bay Area will celebrate the 14th Annual Bike to Work Day to promote bicycling as a healthy, green and fun form of transportation. More than 180 Energizer Stations in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties along bike commute routes will provide rewards and encouragement for both regular and first time bike commuters.

he City of Palo Alto will sponsor four Energizer Stations:

* City Hall King Plaza, near the intersection of Hamilton and Bryant
Street
* Alma Bike Bridge, near the intersection of Alma and El Camino Real
* California Avenue and Park Boulevard, near the Caltrain Station
* Wilkie Way Bike Bridge over Adobe Creek, on the Miller Avenue side

City staff, members of the Palo Alto Bicycle Advisory Committee and friendly
volunteers will welcome bicyclists at these four Energizer Stations with
fruit, coffee and other treats, plus bike commute bags, from 6:30 - 9 a.m.
Joining the commuters will be City Manager Frank Benest who will bike to
City Hall.

Other local Energizer Station locations include one near Arastradero and
Foothill (sponsored by Roche), another on Hanover near Page Mill (sponsored
by HP) and one near the intersection of Churchill and Castilleja Avenues
(sponsored by Palo Alto High School). Stanford University will also be
hosting five additional Energizer Stations at White Plaza and four key
entrances to campus: Palm Drive, Galvez, Serra and Campus Drive West.

For maps showing locations of these Energizer Stations and 180 others around
the Bay Area, see  www.bicycling.511.org or

These web sites also can help you find answers to questions about bike
commuting, bike-friendly routes, how to calculate your savings in fuel costs
and CO2 generation -- and an online prize drawing entry form for everyone
who pledges to bike to work, school, errands, transit, or for play at least
once during the month of May.
