Solano takes part in Bike BINGO activities
SUISUN CITY The Solano Transportation Authority is partnering with Solano County’s cities to host a Bike BINGO event through its Solano Mobility Program.
“Biking is a great way to improve your physical and mental health, and it’s beneficial for the environment,” Solano Transportation Authority board Chairman Ron Rowlett, the Vacaville mayor, said in a statement released by the agency. “The Bike BINGO event is a wonderful way to enjoy the beautiful spring weather and explore your community with the entire family.”
Nine bikeable checkpoints will be set up at community parks, transit centers and other locations in each city. Participants who visit at least one location will receive a “swag bag.”

However, therapy and time have allowed Medrano to get back onto his bike, and in 2020, he logged more than 14,000 miles, according to a statement released by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission through its Bay Area Bike to Wherever Days program.
