為了慶祝世界地球日(Earth Day)和推行環保節能生活方式,蒙特利公園市 4月 27日將舉行地球日慶典,倡導單車出行,宣揚節能環保知識,27-28日同時舉行櫻花節賞櫻花活動。兩項適合全家參與的好玩活動一起舉行,一同裨益大家的身與心!

騎單車不僅是利於民眾強身健體的休閒活動,也是保護環境的象徵,蒙特利公園市自四年前就開始單車行的地球日慶典活動,這次和積極倡導騎單車的公益組織 ActiveSGV 合作,甚至未來準備在市內鋪設單車專用道,給民眾創造安全騎單車的環境,以鼓勵更多的民眾選擇用單車代替出行,減少廢氣,保護環境。

此次單車行的路線主要是環繞蒙市,長約6英里,沿途路過蒙市有歷史意義的建築,也是你平時開車容易錯過的風景,一路上會有安管員護送單車騎士,參加民眾的年齡不得小於10歲,官方建議在網上提前註冊,網站地址 : https://www.montereypark.ca.gov/1165/Earth-Day-Festival
