GET ROLLING ads are up all around town
We all know Bike to Work Day is upon us, but did you know that the biggest bike day of the year is about much more than work. That’s right. Bike to Work Day symbolizes a lifestyle of using your bicycle for all kinds of trips and doing so year round. Bicycling to school, bicycling to the market, bicycling to go out at night, these are the options more and more folks around the East Bay are choosing.
To encourage more bicycling, the East Bay Bicycle Coalition has launched its 3rd annual GET ROLLING Campaign. Ads are up around town showing cyclists riding to work, to school, to the market, as a family, and out to the movies. Check them out at BART Stations, on the backs of AC Transit buses, in bus shelters, on street pole banners, kiosks and in the East Bay Express.
If you see one, take a photo and post to our account.
Where to spot the GET ROLLING ads:
- AC Transit Bus Tails: 150 bus tails from Fremont to Richmond have an ad on the back
