Metrolink invites bicyclists to ride free during ‘Bike to Work’ week
From TheAVTimes.com
Metrolink is celebrating National Bike Month with free fare for riders who board trains with their bicycles during Bike to Work Week, May 16-20, the agency announced.
“Metrolink’s bike-friendly passenger trains are perfect for a summer travel adventure as well as for those riders who use their bikes for part of their commute.” Metrolink Board Chair Ara Najarian said. “And during Bike to Work Week we invite everyone to bring their bike and take the train to work or anywhere they like, free for the entire week.”
The bike month festivities include a “Cycle SoCal” sweepstakes giveaway worth more than $2,500 – including a brand new Aventon e-bike, a Metrolink Monthly Pass, an overnight experience at a local luxury hotel, and dinner for two at a well-known restaurant. Metrolink partnered with e-bike company Aventon Bikes and LOCALE Magazine for the giveaway of a new e-bike that features a 40-mile average range with a foldable frame, pedals, and handlebars, made for easy transportation.
