Why I Ride: Bobbie Chevis While most Flyer Riders cite dollars and cents as reasons for riding the shuttle to their downtown job, Bobbie Chevis takes a different route. “Riding into work in the morning, I realize how much of Sacramento I have a chance to see while on the shuttle.” Like the iconic Sacramento River in the morning, “smooth as glass,” she says. She also rides for the community aspect, like her Flyer driver who knows everyone (and everyone’s pets), and her “bus buddies." “I truly believe our fantastic driver, Dee, is responsible for bringing everyone together. Our NNTMA shuttle is more like a small neighborhood of friends.” Check out other riders' reasons in the Why I Ride series. |

There's Still Time to be a 50 Bikes for 50 Kids Sponsor! We want to take a moment and give a shout out to the individuals and businesses who have donated to 50 Bikes for 50 Kids so far! A round of applause goes to:
50 Bikes is a community-propelled event that will take place on January 19th, 2015 where 50 well-deserving youth get the opportunity to work with local volunteers to assemble parts into brand new bicycles for the kids. The day is made possible by generous donations from caring businesses and organizations that make our community a thriving one, as well as amazing volunteers that give their time to mentor local youth.

Creekside Fair: Fall Festival with Bike Valet We are going to let you in on a little secret: Fall might be one of our favorite seasons of the year, in part because of the beautiful biking weather it brings! Here’s one free-wheeling North Natomas destination you don’t want to miss -- The Creekside Fair on October 26th at Kokomo Park, presented by Mayor Pro Tem Angelique Ashby.
On tap will be live music, BBQ, face painters, balloon twisters, bounce houses, carnival games, pumpkin painting and, of course, a FREE Bike Valet! As an added perk, free bike lights will be given to all of those who ride to the event. |
