[SDCBC] Padres Bike Parking Pavilion set to open April 6th!

[Kathy Keehan]

Sunday April 6th will mark the opening day of the Padres Bicycle Parking
Pavilion (BPP) in the shadows of Petco Park.  The BPP was created by
organizers of a unique cycling event we call Pedal to the Park (PTP) - an
inclusive event created to celebrate and enjoy the social and recreational
benefits of cycling for all ages and abilities.  With the stimulus of PTP
and the encouragement and expertise of the SD County Bicycle Coalition, the
Padres have decided this season to expand BPP service for cyclists to every
Sunday home game.  April 6th will be the first of 13 'Cycling Sundays at
Petco Park' for the 2008 season, offering a green and healthy alternative
transport for fans to ballgames.

The BPP will be set up at the foot of Park Blvd.  We expect there to be a
few media folks covering the first day. It would be great if a few
bicyclists could be there to show their colors, demonstrate the BPP
operation, and tout the benefits and related themes.  The Padres 'Green' and
'Child Anti-Obesity' initiatives would resonate nicely in this context and
setting.

 

Even if you can't attend the game, come on by to tell the Padres that
they're doing a good thing! The game starts at 1:05.
