The Palo Alto Neighborhood Green Teams look forward to hosting their third annual Bike Palo Alto! event.

The event will occur from 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 7, at El Carmelo School.

The free event offers biking and safety information, helmet fitting, bike registration and maintenance and a choice of bike routes throughout Palo Alto.

“Our vision is to encourage more people to ride their bikes more places more often,” said Robyn Duby, one of the event organizers for the Neighborhood Green Teams.

Participants can bike around town and receive free “treats” provided at no cost from Whole Foods Market, The Sweet Shoppe, the YMCA and others.

The goal of Bike Palo Alto! is to show residents how local biking can be an easy and enjoyable alternative to driving.
