Future of Bikes is Un-Folding in Sacramento!
It’s a common challenge: you’d love to bring your bike onboard a Capitol Corridor train, but storage space is limited and leaving it in the aisle is a safety hazard. What’s a bicycle enthusiast to do?
The solution: Folding Bicycles! These increasingly sophisticated bikes are perfect not just for getting around urban settings, but also for riding to and from Capitol Corridor trains. In fact, folding bikes figure prominently in the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority’s (CCJPA) plan to address safe bike storage on its trains.
Edible Pedal, Rex Cycles and the CCJPA invite you to come out to the Sacramento Valley Amtrak Station on December 5 from 2pm – 6pm to see the latest advances in folding bicycles. Manufacturers including Bike Friday and Brompton will be on hand with plenty of bicycles and will be happy to answer questions and let you take a test drive.
Event details are below. Hope to see you there!
When: Wednesday, December 5th from 2pm – 6pm
Where: Sacramento Valley Amtrak Station (401 I Street at 5th, Sacramento CA)
Cost: No charge! The event is open to the public
