ATASCADERO — In celebration of Bike to Work Week, the City is hosting “Pedal to the Gardens” at the historic City Hall on Tuesday, May 14 from 8 until 9 a.m.

Bicyclists of all ages are invited to join as the City hosts ‘Pedal to the Gardens,’ which is a free community event in recognition of Bike to Work Week and May being National Bike Month.  The event will be held on the steps of Atascadero City Hall, across from Sunken Gardens, and will feature a light breakfast and refreshments to thank and recognize community members who bike to work. 

Atascadero has an active multi-modal commuter community and with the return to work for many employees, this is an opportunity to try commuting on two wheels. Attendees will also learn more about the upcoming El Camino Real Downtown Infrastructure Enhancement Project, which incorporates a number of new multi-modal features to increase pedestrian, bicyclists and transit access along with Bike Safety tips.

The City is partnering with the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) as part of several community events scheduled throughout the county during the month of May. Local sponsors of this event include K-Man Cyclery, The Nest, Malibu Brew and Wild Fields Brewhouse. Wild Fields Brewhouse is offering a bite and a pint of craft beer to bike riders on May 14, from 4 to 6 p.m., located at 6907 El Camino Real.
