BCCIE members and volunteers
are needed to support bicycle
valet parking. Contact Jonathan
Baty to volunteer or get more
information.
Percent: the amount you
can reduce your risk of
heart attack or stroke by
bicycling three times a
week.
The Bicycle Commuter Coalition of the Inland
Empire was founded in the 1990s to promote
increased use of bicycling as an alternative to auto-
mobiles for transportation and to advocate for safe
bike-friendly routes and facilities throughout the
region. We encourage you to leave your car keys at
home and let that engine rest, help clean the air
and get some exercise by using a bike to get to
work and around town. Use this website as a
resource for making cycling a safe and socially
accepted means of transportation, not only as an
occasional alternative to the automobile, but the
predominant way to get around.
Calories: the amount a
140-pound cyclist burns
while pedaling 14 miles in
one hour.
Million gallons of gasoline:
the amount that would be
saved if 1/2 percent of car
trips were replaced by bike
trips in the U.S.
Million tons: annual CO2
emissions that would be
reduced if one out of 10
motorists switched to a
bike.
May 12-16, 2008
We hope you'll ride to work
every day, but if you haven't
done it yet, here's your chance
to be part of the movement.
There is strength in numbers,
so be part of this important
event. More information at
