More than 150 public transit systems and organizations are celebrating the 12th Annual National Dump the Pump Day on Thursday, June 15th. Los Alamos County will take it one step further by asking its residents to Dump the Pump and Bike It, Walk It, or Bus it.
Invite
your family, bring your friends and join us on a three-mile Community
Ride. The ride was originally scheduled for Bike to Work Day on May
19th, but was postponed
due to snow. Therefore, “Dump the Pump Day” is another a great way to
celebrate bicycle transportation. The ride will start at 11:30 am from
the Ashley Pond Pavilion. Members of the Los Alamos Fire Department and
Los Alamos Police Department bike patrols
will lead the ride through town. After the ride, free hot dogs, chips
and refreshments will be served to the first 100 participants. Staff
and a bus from Atomic City Transit will be on site to demonstrate use of
bus mounted bike racks along with information
promoting safe cycling.
A
raffle will be held at the lunch time event for a 26” Roadmaster
Mountain Bike that was donated by Wal-Mart, and adult bike helmets
donated by the Los Alamos
Heart Council.
Atomic City Transit would like to thank our customers for choosing public transportation on this and other days.
Questions/Comments please call the Public Works Department at 505-662-8150 or send an email to

Bike
safety is very important! Please be sure your bike is in good working
