THE OUTDOORS: Biking and walking

BIKING

The Sacramento region is celebrating May as Bike Month, during which people are encouraged to ride their bicycles to and from work and around town, for errands and for pleasure and exercise.

Riders, including those in Yolo County, are invited to log their miles at mayisbikemonth.com, to compete for prizes and to help the region achieve its goal of 1 million miles of bicycle travel in May. The region's cyclists logged about 930,000 miles last year.

Bicycle commuters in and around Davis are invited to a free Bike-to-Work Breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m. May 14 at Central Park, Third and C streets.

UC Davis' Sacramento campus is organizing Bike to Work Day on May 15. Check The Insider and Weekly Update for details.
