On the occasion of the annual Drive Less Challenge, April 22 – May 5, Los Altos Politico observes that bikes with step through frames are trending up! Here are some pics from the event recognizing winners in Los Altos. Karen Janoswski of Green Town Los Altos spearheaded the effort to recruit participants this year. Arnold Ambiel reported that thanks to all Karen’s work Los Altos was the winner this year with the most miles.
