Gear up for Bike to Work Day with SANDAG’s Tune-up Time Event

SANDAG is organizing a tune-up event to answer questions and unveil the new bike map for the San Diego Region. Details below:

Saturday, May 15th from 8 a.m. to noon

Not sure if you’re ready for Bike to Work Day (BTWD)? Have you thought about commuting by bike? Then come to our Tune-up Time event and gear up! You’ll be able to register for BTWD, get a free bike inspection and mini tune up, try an electric bike, and more.

During our Tune-up Time event, at 10:30 a.m., the NEW San Diego Regional Bikeway Map will be unveiled by County Supervisor Greg Cox! You will be able to pick up a free copy of the new map, as well as lots of freebies from BTWD sponsor booths.

BTWD is an annual event put on by the San Diego Association of Governments iCommute program. Registering for BTWD will allow you to pick up a FREE t-shirt on your BTWD commute, and you’ll be eligible for great prizes such as a pampering spa package or an electric bike! The iCommute team will be available at the Tune-up Time event to answer any questions about biking to work and how pit stops can help you refuel during your BTWD commute.

The pre-event will be held at Redwood Circle in Balboa Park, just off 6th Ave. and Laurel St., from 8 a.m. to noon.

Bike to Work Day is Friday May 21, 2010. Visit www.iCommuteSD.com to register or for more information.
