Founder of Wasco Bike Club urges monthly community rides after 47-person inaugural event
Summary
Anna Orozco, a founder of the Wasco Bike Club, told the council the group's first community ride drew about 47 riders with police support; she asked to hold monthly rides and continue partnerships with the city and police.
Anna Orozco addressed the council during public comment and identified herself as a founder of the Wasco Bike Club. She reported that the club’s inaugural community fun ride the previous Friday attracted about 47 riders and that code enforcement and two police officers supported the ride by distributing helmets and helping secure intersections.
Orozco asked the council to allow the club to hold community rides monthly and to continue the partnership with the city, the Wasco Police Department and the Police Activity League. Council members thanked her, asked about the club’s social-media presence (the transcript alternately records a Facebook page called "Bosco Bike Club" but Orozco identified the group as the Wasco Bike Club), and expressed support for continuing the events.
What happens next: Council members expressed interest and said they looked forward to future ride dates and to follow-up on any needed coordination with city staff and police.
