MiBM is for Kids, Too!
Remember, it’s not just about riding to and from school, although that is encouraged and an excellent way to stack up the number of logged trips. It’s also about recreation! North Natomas is home to a bushel of parks and trails, including the brand new Spine Trail (which still needs an official name). Need tips on riding with young ones in tow? Check out this blog and remember to always give yourself extra time and to enjoy the journey as much as the destination! |

What’s Up Bike Doc? Just like we need to keep ourselves in fine-tuned working order with regular check-ups, so it goes for our bikes. Thankfully our locally loved and very mobile Bike Doc is in full swing and making the rounds. So, if you need a tune-up, brake adjustment, flat fixed or any other common bike ailment cured, just take a look at the schedule and bring your bike on by.
*Includes a low-cost helmet sale. |

A huge “Thank You!” goes out to:

Go Anywhere With Your Bike With This goTOGETHER Video: How to Use the Shuttle Bike Rack Is your desire to ride to far off destinations eclipsed by just how far off those destinations are?

Don’t be scared, this video will show you exactly how to mount your bike on the Flyer's fold down bike rack. Take a look and you’ll be a pro! |

Bike Month is here! Below we take a look at what’s on deck -- and we hope you and your beautiful bicycle are on board. 
Celebrate summer and your love of the outdoors with a lovely 26-mile bike ride to East Sac. Via the American River Bike Trail, we will make our way to Sac State, through the Fab 40’s, past McKinley Park, and Blue Diamond Almond Growers. We’ll stop by Panera Bread along the American River Bike Trail for treats on the way home.
We are so pleased to welcome Leah Barrett to the NNTMA team in the role of Program Assistant. A transplant from Newton, Connecticut, Leah’s a wellspring of positive energy, and is already tackling her new position. A little bit more about Leah: she graduated from Tulane in New Orleans and says she already adores the California way of life. She’s also a woman of many talents and hobbies, namely singing, dancing and acting -- and on the fitness side -- swimming, running and biking. She’s front and center in our office so please give her a welcoming “hello” when you see her!
Students, parents, faculty and staff get excited about May is Bike Month because of the quality time spent together, the reducion of smog, and of course...bringing home some glory! Our North Natomas schools have a lot of proven pedaling power and consistently rank in the top of the region for miles ridden in May.
