Someone just sent me a link to a story in my old hometown newspaper, the Orange County Register.
The article, Giving up car revs family up, details the transformation that occurred in a family from Santa Ana, California when they ditched their ailing, money-pit of a car and started riding bikes instead.
Earlier this month, the BTA’s Karl Rohde reported that a bunch of new bike racks had been installed in front of City Hall’s main entrance (on SW Fourth Ave.).
The racks were installed as a temporary measure to handle the increased demand during the Bike Commute Challenge, which runs through this month.
