Join The Biking Craze!

Join The Biking Craze!

 

The I Bike Fresno 2012 Campaign kicks off its 3rd Annual Million Mile Challenge on this Sunday, April 29th ahead of  National Bike Month which begins this Tuesday, May first.

The Million Mile Challenge encourages people that work, play and live in Fresno County to work together to log miles in an effort to ride a collective one million miles, while reminding them that riding a bike is not just good for personal health and the environment, but it is also fun. 

“Bicycles are something that have really been relegated to just a recreational item. People don’t realize that bikes can be a great tool for transportation,” said Byron Watkins, President of the Bike Happy Foundation. “We hope through efforts like the Million Mile Challenge and our other bike month events, we can start to change peoples’ behaviors and show them that bicycles aren’t just for kids. We want people to fall in love with their bicycles again.”

Important Reminders in Heating Your Home

Important Reminders in Heating Your Home

 

        CAL FIRE is reminding us to check our home heating equipment now that the cold weather is here. CAL FIRE is dispatched to many home fires this time of year when the response could have been prevented by simple equipment maintenance procedures. Below is a list of heating problems that are often overlooked.

        When was the last time your flue was cleaned?

Chimney sweep vendors in the area can be found on the internet and in the yellow pages of our local phone book under “chimney cleaning”.  Also flue brushes can be rented from local vendors for a minimal charge.  This is also a good time to inspect the firebox and flue for cracks and damage.

 Inspect all home heating units for obstructions and operation.
