Celebrate Bike to Work Week with ‘Pedal to the Garden’ 

Event will feature a light breakfast, refreshments to thank and recognize community members who bike to work

– The City of Atascadero has announced “Pedal to the Garden” in celebration of Bike to Work Week to be held at Historic City Hall on Tuesday, May 17 from 7:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m.

Bicyclists of all ages are invited to join in the fun as the city hosts this free community event in recognition of Bike to Work Week and May being National Bike Month. The event will be held on the steps of Atascadero City Hall, across from Sunken Gardens, and will feature a light breakfast and refreshments to thank and recognize community members who bike to work.

Atascadero has an active multi-modal commuter community and with the return to work for many employees, this is an opportunity to try commuting on two wheels. Attendees will also learn more about the approved El Camino Real Downtown Infrastructure Enhancement Project, which incorporates a number of new multi-modal features to increase pedestrian, bicyclists, and transit access.

The city is partnering with the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) as part of a number of community events scheduled throughout the county during the month of May.
