The Good Life ~ Sacramento
Exploring a City with a Small-Town Feel and World of PotentialArchive for Biking
Today: Launching of Midtown’s New Bike Share Program
Win-Win Situation
The weather’s glorious, there’s so much to see and do Downtown, and now – just in time for summer fun – the training wheels are coming off. Remember how excited you were to get your first banana-seat bike, Huffy, ten-speed, beach cruiser?! Don’t leave all the fun, fresh air and frolicking in childhood’s past – Reclaim the streets while you help save the planet one peddle at a time.
There’s a kick-off party today at 28th and J Streets in the Priority Parking Lot, 4PM, and you are invited.
The Midtown Bike Share will make it easier for both Midtown residents and visitors to get around, and is quite affordable and easy to use. It will also make Sacramento one of the few bike share programs on the West Coast. The pilot program will include two bike rental kiosks/vaults and 12 bikes, with kiosks located in the parking lots at 28th and J Streets and at 16th and I Streets. If the pilot program is a success – that’s where you and me come in -additional kiosk/vaults may be placed throughout Midtown and the Central City.
For more information about the Midtown Bike Share visit facebook.com/RideYourOwnWay or contact Heather Philpott: 916.442.1500, heather@mbasac.com. The Ride Your Own Way Midtown Bike Share program is brought to you by Midtown Business Association (MBA).
There is something special about Sacramento; the rich land upon which it was built, the rivers that flow through, the bounty around it and the people who make the Sacramento area their home.
Life is good in California’s Capital City for many reasons, including climate and geography, community and amenities, nature and wildlife, and so much more. It’s hard to imagine a warmer feeling than a sunshine-drenched morning here, an easier feeling than a refreshing post-rain spring day, or a more engaging experience than a night on the town with friends or family.
There’s truly something here for everyone and every mood, for Sacramento is a shifting entity itself, with four distinct but relatively mild seasons, diverse neighborhoods and people, a ripening food and restaurant scene, year-round events and outdoor fun, and daytime and night-time adventures. Its magic is a blend of history and tradition, vision and reinvention. And there’s so much pleasure to be had here – with family and friends, food and wine, adventures and experiences – that they’re likely to create the kind of fond memories that might seem so familiar… but aren’t quite like any other.
