Lodi commuters kick off Bike to Work Week

Pedal power helps local employees get into shape, save some cash

Posted: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 12:00 am | Updated: 5:25 am, Wed May 16, 2012.

Shortly after 6 a.m. Tuesday, 10 men and women glided out of the House of Coffees parking lot, all pedaling to the same destination.

Riding beach cruisers, mountain bikes and street bikes, the Pacific Coast Producers employees rode through Downtown Lodi, across Highway 99 and to the company's corporate offices on North Cluff Avenue. They occasionally cheered and encouraged each other to keep going.
