BIKE TO WORK DAY AWARD WINNERS
Many prizes were awarded to thank those who bike to work — both
for newcomers and for veterans. Congratulations to this year's winners!
We hope that you will make every day a bike to work day!
BIKE COMMUTERS OF THE YEAR AWARD WINNERS
One person in each of the nine Bay Area counties received an award recognizing
their commitment to making every day a Bike To Work day.
Alameda County
Four cities, three counties, two bridges, one bike, five days a week
and 5,000 miles a year! Danard Coleman is one serious
pedaler.
Contra Costa County
Steve Kooyman visits Bike to Work Day Energizer Stations
every year telling the same tale of how he organizes getting his daughter
to school on a bike that connects to his. Logistics is no obstacle
for this guy!
Marin County
Several nominations were submitted for Nette LaBelle.
Those who nominated Nette calculated that she has rescued the environment
from 450 million pounds worth of pollutants by riding her bicycle!
Napa County
Gabriela Gonzalez uses her bicycle for all her transportation
needs. She is very active in the Eagle Cycling club and can frequently
be found encouraging others to use their bikes.
San Francisco County
Joe Gross rides from San Francisco to his job at Google
in Mountain View - a total of 70 miles roundtrip several days a week.
This commute is the true meaning of Bike to Work!
San Mateo County
A dedicated cyclist, Dr. Dani Weber is also a pedestrian
advocate and cycles to her practice several days a week.
Santa Clara County
For 16 years Mario Capra has pedaled 18 miles per day,
every day rain or shine, to commute to work.
Solano County
Glen Grant uses a combination of bicycling and public
transportation to commute to Sacramento every day. Glenn rides to AmTrak's
Capitol Corridor, cycles to the Regional Transit light rail train in
Sacramento and then rides another 5 miles to work.
Sonoma County
"One less car" is Loretta Esparza's mantra. She
uses her bike for all transportation needs and encourages others to do the
same.
OUTSTANDING WORKPLACE THAT FOSTERS BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION
We are pleased to honor Agilent Technologies for the Outstanding Workplace
that Fosters Bicycle Transportation Award. Agilent supports their employees
in pedaling to work by providing bicycle facilities and even budgets
for an on-site bicycle team. Agilent Technologies employee, Steve Reddi,
received the award in honor of his company.
MOST IMPROVED BICYCLE COMMUNITY
For Most Improved Bicycle Community we are pleased to honor the city
of Petaluma as they demonstrate an improved commitment to provide safe
and accessible bicycle lanes and pathways throughout their city. Jared
