Did you know that almost 40% of Bay Area commuters live within five miles of their workplace? If everyone who lives within this ideal distance pedaled to work on May 14th, hundreds of thousands of cars would be off the road and air pollution that day would be reduced significantly. Experience bicycle commuting as a healthy and viable way to get to work.

SCBC is thrilled to announce that we’re bringing “Klunkerz: A Film About Mountain Bikes www.klunkerz.com” back to Sonoma County for the annual Bike-in Movie event during National Bike Month (May). The film, directed by Billy Savage, features historical footage of mountain bike pioneers Gary Fisher, Joe Breeze, Jacquie Phelan, Mike Sinyard, Tom Ritchey and Charlie Kelly (and others) as they took their fat-tire bikes to the Marin County trails.
The screening is Saturday, May 23rd. Doors Open at 7:30 p.m. Location: The Hunter Global Legacy Center, 655 First Street, Santa Rosa. Requested donation $7 - $10 sliding scale (proceeds benefit SCBC). Free popcorn and bring your spending money for beer, soda, and movie candy! Valet bike parking is always free.
Plus: a special screening of a short film about mysterious locals who audaciously use bikes to move the contents of an entire office to a new location! Unheard of!
