Throwback Thursday: Bike Center Is Awesome

Date:

In celebration of Bike to Work Day, we wanted to take a moment to highlight one of the best videos that’s ever appeared on Santa Monica Next: our Bike Center video we published last year. Did you know Bike Center is the largest bike parking locale in all of America? It’s true!

But under the leadership of Ron Durgin, they’ve done more than just park bikes. They’ve leveraged a bike rental program into a large return on the City’s investment and created a program of classes and activities that benefit all of Santa Monica.

So today, let’s celebrate one of Santa Monica’s local success stories.
