Over the past several years Temple City has been at the center of bicycle greatness in the San Gabriel Valley. A couple of years back TC city council approved their Bicycle Master Plan and has pushed the envelope by including SGV's first on-street protected Class-I bike paths a.k.a. "cycle tracks."
To bring further attention to their efforts and to encourage surrounding communities to explore similar initiatives, Temple City will be hosting a Bike Ride and Rodeo on March 23, 2013, from 9 AM - 2 PM at Live Oak Park. All participants must complete and submit a registration form. Registration is free.
The bike ride will consist of an approximately 5-mile loop along the bike routes included in the city's Bike Master Plan. After the ride, all are welcome to join in the bicycle-related festivities to learn more about:
- Temple City Bicycle Master Plan
- SGV Regional Bicycle Master Plan
- Bicycle safety and adjustments
- Legal operation of bikes on public streets
- and much more
BikeSGV is currently looking for volunteers to help with the children's bike rodeo, information booth, ride marshal, bike valet and fix-a-flat time trials. Your support is much needed and GREATLY appreciated, thank you in advance.
