On Thursday, May 9th, nearly 400 Richmond riders joined the entire East Bay for the 19th annual Bike To Work Day. The City of Richmond partnered with the East Bay Bicycle Coalition, 511 Contra Costa, Building Blocks for Kids Collaborative, SunPower, the Richmond Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee, Rich City RIDES, and Urban Tilth to celebrate biking as an efficient, viable and cost effective form of transportation. Between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM, Energizer Stations provided riders with water, reusable water bottles, coffee, snacks, prizes, a Bike To Work tote bag and more. Stations were set up throughout Richmond at Macdonald Ave. & San Pablo Ave., the Richmond Greenway, Marina Bay Park and Richmond BART. Over 200 Energizer Stations were located along local bike commute routes in all nine Bay Area counties.

What makes the RICHMOND PULSE different from other news organizations is that it is community based, youth-led, and with a focus on any issue that affects the health of the overall community. Young people will be trained in the craft of multimedia reporting, effectively becoming the eyes and ears of their community and bringing their stories to a wider audience through the web as well as a local newspaper that will be distributed widely throughout the city of Richmond, and beyond.
