Mayors Put a New Spin on Bike to Work Month With First-Ever Oakland-San Jose "Bike Off"

With only two weeks to go until Bike to Work Day, which falls on May 14 this year, two of the region’s big-city mayors today announced a first ever “Bike Off.” Our videographer Mark Jones was on hand as Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf threw down the gauntlet and called San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, and challenged him to participate in a friendly competition to see which of the two cities’ employees and residents can muster more biking activity during the month of May. With both Mayor Schaaf and Mayor Liccardo sitting on MTC, we’ll be watching and reporting the results as Bike to Work Day and Bike to Work Month unfold. Oakland and San Jose workers and residents can participate via theTeamBikeChallenge.org website.
