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!

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!
