May is Bike to Work Month! Biking as a means of transportation helps promote healthy living and protects the environment that we hold so dear here in Ventura. The city of Ventura is dedicated to providing its citizens with excellent bike routes throughout town and encourages all in the community to get their bikes (and helmets!) ready to ride to work every day this month!
Do not miss out on all the activities planned for the City of Ventura Bike to Work Week 2017 taking place May 15th through May 19th! Fill out the Pledge to bike to work or school during this week and be entered to win some great prizes from the Ventura County Transportation Commission.
