5th San Jose to Palo Alto

May 9, 2015 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Bike from San Jose City Hall to Palo Alto City Hall

Bicycle leader and former Palo Alto Mayor, Yoriko Kishimoto (pictured in orange above), will be leading us, with  SJSU Professor, and former stunt man, Randy MitchellKeep an eye out for the Ordinary Luge trick (above) that he has promised for us on his 19th Century bike!

 Screen shot 2015-04-16 at 12.35.30 AMIf that’s not enough, San Jose Transportation Director,  Hans Larsen, is trying to clear his schedule for that day and Yoriko’s brilliant husband, Lee Collins, pictured in blue above, an Asian language wizard who played a huge part in establishing Apple computer’s dominance in the Pacific Rim and recently met with the Dalai Lama in Japan, will be there too! 2006 NBG coast-to-coast scout, Scott Campbell will be there as will Barry Burr, inventor of the revolutionary Barry Beams bike lighting system.  2004 NBG coast-to-coast scout, Don Loomis, another Apple powerhouse, is also trying to make room for this slow ride that Martin Krieg will be setting the pace for on his rare 10-13 mph Eagle HiWheel bike!

This ride will showcase the recently paved Guadulupe River Trail that runs from very near San Jose City Hall all the way to the bottom of the San Francisco Bay!

Add to all of the above the fact  that Yoriko is inviting her other bicycle friends, city and local bike organization leaders, and this easy ride will not be one you want to miss!!
