Walking and Biking Tips
|
Walking, biking and wheeling are clean, healthy
and affordable forms of transportation, recreation and exercise. Safety,
physical fitness, air quality, and more transportation choices are several
important reasons why San Antonio and Bexar County are celebrating walking,
wheeling and bicycling in 2008 for our
12th year of the Walk & Roll program.
The "Walk & Roll" Program encourages the use of
healthy transportation such as bicycling, walking, car/vanpooling and busing.
Show your support of safe and healthy cycling in the San Antonio region.
Support the Bicycle Mobility Advisory Committee of the MPO by participating in
our Bike Month events in May. For more information email or call Lydia Kelly at
kelly@sametroplan.org,
or 210-230-6911.
Other healthy activities are included on our
website for your information. To submit your organization's event for
inclusion on our website, please
