Changing lives one spoke at a time

One of the most exciting things I've heard this year is happening in Gilroy this week. Originally planned as a donation drive to collect gently used bicycles this Saturday, Aug. 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Spokes4Folks found that the response to the idea of donating bikes to give to folks in need of transportation picked up speed quickly. In light of such a tremendous outpouring of compassion, the volunteer group has had to start giving away bikes earlier than planned. What a good problem to have!

Red Phone: Christmas in the park?

“I was just walking through Miller Park. It is a little gem. It has mature Christmas-like trees like cypress and redwood. So do many of our bigger parks like Christmas Hill. I notice we keep putting that artificial tree that is getting pretty raggedy up downtown. Wouldn’t it be nice if we use one of our living beautiful trees in our neighborhood parks? I know downtown needs all the help it can get. But what an opportunity we have with some of these little gems of a park.”

Even though I have lived most of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area, I have never spent much time in the East Bay. I often travel through on the interstate highway corridors that take me in and out of the Bay Area, but I very rarely probe the back roads.
