Dallas Mayor Pro Tem West, City Councilmembers Moreno and Ridley host Bike to City Hall event

Mayor Pro Tem Chad West, along with Councilmembers Paul Ridley and Jesse Moreno, are leading an initiative called Bike to City Hall, in partnership with Downtown Dallas, Inc., and several local bicycle organizations. The goal of the annual event is to promote environment-friendly transit and a healthy lifestyle.

"Bicycle commuting is good for health, tourism, economy, and environment. It is an effective means of improving air quality, reducing automobile congestion, and conserving energy", West said.

As in years past, the event gives special recognition to an organization or person helping to make Dallas more bike-friendly. This year's honoree is former Councilmember Lee Kleinman.
