One of the major goals of Bikeramento is to create the Velobahn. What is the Velobahn? The Velobahn is a Central City Bikeway that cuts through the heart of Downtown and Midtown and eventually connects cyclist and pedestrians from river to river.
We believe that Sac Sunday Streets is the perfect segway into the Veloban. Sac Sunday Streets is a soft closure of Capitol Avenue between 28th and 15th on the second sunday of every month from May to September from 7 am to 2 pm.
Sac Sunday Streets will be an opportunity for physical fitness for everyone (runners, walkers, skaters, cyclist, aerobic classes, yoga, and the list goes on and on) we can also have street vendors (lemonade stands, craft, etc) The possibilities for this event are endless.
Sac Sunday Streets will be a version of Colombia, Bogota’s Ciclovia.
Many other cities in the USA are implementing this concept.
We need your support! Let’s work together towards our goal of becoming the most bikeable city in the USA.
Wait: to follow me and Sofia (my electra bike) around the city visit: http://www.saccyclechic.com
Very cool blog, good to see this here. I’m Colombian and live in Sacramento… spectacular comparison, I need to jump in here on this… I wish it were more than just the 2nd Sunday though.
All on-board with the concept and happy to contribute however I / our team and sponsors can. Just let me know… Additionally, I have links to some very pivitol cycling groups in and around town that could help with the lobbying / persuading effort….
