Upcoming: Ciclavia Comes to Claremont / Pomona...

Related to the above upcoming event (and this is important), the Pomona Valley Bicycle Coalition is asking everyone interested in bringing a CicLAvia-style event to Claremont and Pomona, to make their wishes known by attending the Claremont City Council meeting tonight, 6:30 at the City Council Chamber, City Hall. As you know the Claremont City Council has been quite bike-friendly over the past number of years, bringing about numerous infrastructure improvements, as well as approving cycling events including races, rodeos and community rides. If you have been paying attention to CicLAvia reports you will know that the event has proven a great Sunday boon to businesses along the route. People come from all over to experience a fun day dedicated to bicycle mobility and community spirit on motor-free streets. Claremont and Pomona have an opportunity to bring the same extravaganza to our two cities. You can help to make it happen simply by attending the Council meeting and showing your support.

By the way, this is the same meeting during which the Council is to analyze the study for speed limit increases along numerous of the city's streets.
