MiBM: The Numbers Are In May is Bike Month whizzed by this year and we are happy to report that, thanks to our own local bike whizzes, we had another awesome year full of pedaling. Local businesses, teams, schools, faculty and families all got in the game! So how far did we ride? Without further adieu, North Natomas logged a total of 114,057 miles. Way to show up and represent! Keep that momentum rolling this summer; there are plenty of local and regional events that are perfect opportunities to keep you riding.

Bike Doc @ Food Truck Mania Have you heard of FOMO? It stands for “Fear of Missing Out” and you might just catch it if you don’t get in to see the Bike Doc next week. There's one more chance until August to get a free tune-up, bike repair, or seat adjustment, all for the very low cost of FREE. Remember, this is a first-come first-served and one-bike-per-person event. Show up early -- the event goes from 5 - 8 pm at the North Natomas Library on Thursday, June 16th. |

Farmers Market + Bike Valet = So Fresh and So Green There is just something about farmers markets that puts a little pep in our step. Local, organic produce, neighbors getting to know each other and their community -- and here in North Natomas, free bike valet! So, stuff those reusable grocery bags in your handy bike basket and head down to the North Natomas Regional Park Farmers Market every Thursday between 4:30 and 8:30 pm through the end of summer. Take advantage of the complimentary bike valet through June. |

Several Small Steps for Kids...
Success! Another successful Walk to School year is in the books, and we couldn’t have done it without our awesome Parent Champions. We throw our hats in the air to honor the following superstars: Ana Chan at Natomas Park Elementary, Christa Erlank at H. Allen Hight Elementary, Armando Arroyo at Witter Ranch Elementary, Donna McDonald at Westlake Charter, and Mike Calarco at Heron School for their dedication, commitment and caring, all of which have made the program the high-stepping victory it is. We also extend a huge THANK YOU to the many volunteers at all the schools for making the program possible. Our army of Parent Champions and volunteers have helped the program in so many ways including helping the program grow in numbers, getting them off to a great healthy start in the morning, helping the environment, and doing it all with warmth and a smile. We can’t wait for next year! |

A Moonlit Ride to Help Little Lives On Saturday, July 23rd, cycling friends and neighbors will gather outside the Capitol to embark on a night ride to benefit children’s charities in Sacramento -- including CASA and Making Memories. The event will start at 7 p.m. with a food truck bonanza and music to get everyone fueled and fired up. Then, at 9 pm riders will take off on an iconic Sacramento tour, visiting the Tower Bridge, Sacramento River and more. Afterwards, an after party! Go here for the details. We'd also like to recognize our friends at Point West Rotary Club who have organized this fun, family-friendly event. Thanks!

Ladies and gentlemen, lend us your gears! Actually, you can keep your gears but get them in motion this Saturday, June 11th as we embark on one of our Neighborhood Ride adventures - this time a 24-mile jaunt through the fabulous streets of East Sac and Sac State. These rides are open to every level of rider, but be sure children are up for the trek. Bring a helmet, water and an extra tube.
High temperatures can contribute to an unhealthy air quality, but that isn't the only factor that triggers a Spare the Air Day. Spare the Air Days are announced when the AQI for ground-level ozone pollution is forecast to reach 126 or above.
Know what goes perfectly together? Caffeine and cycling! Come join us the last Saturday of June and July for free bike valet and coffee. Our awesome partner, Bella Bru - Natomas, is helping us reward those who bike with a free coffee, espresso or pastry. So, pedal on over and leave your ride with the trusted bike valet volunteers while you enjoy a great start to a Saturday. Time: 9 am -1 pm.
One giant leap for Natomas!
