Public Hearing
From: James Mulvihill M/CC Meeting Date: 11/17/2014
Prepared by: Cheryl Weeks, (909) 384-
5188
Dept: Council Office Ward(s): All
Subject:
Quarterly Public Bike Ride Event (#3579)
Current Business Registration Certificate: Not Applicable
Financial Impact:
None.
Motion: Discuss and take possible action.
Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
None
Background:
Many cities have regular "community bike rides" as a means of building a strong sense
of community, and to raise awareness of bicycling.
Initial Thoughts:
❑ ❑he event should begin slowly with announcements through the neighborhood
associations.
❑ As the event grows, traffic control may become necessary to assist at street
intersections.
❑ The inaugural event could be held March 7, 2015, and if successful, the first
Saturday of each quarter thereafter (June 5, 2015, September 5, 2015 and
January 2, 2016).
❑ The event might begin and end at Meadowbrook Park with Starbucks at 40th and
Waterman serving as the northerly point. (Total distance approximately 9 miles)
❑ Several goals have been identified for the community bicycle ride: getting to
know the City, making new friends, fostering community fitness and increasing
bicycle awareness.
❑ As the event grows, additional more challenging routes, can be added.

Analysis:
The San Bernardino community bike ride can achieve multiple community building goals
at minimal cost. If the event proves successful, it can expand to include other activities.
