Bicyclists of all ages and skill levels were invited to join local elected officials, OCTA board members and staff for the annual OCTA Bike Rally during Bike Month. Participants started at the Orange Metrolink Station and biked 3 miles through Old Town Orange, along the Santiago Creek Trail, ending at OCTA headquarters on Main Street.
The rally was a preview for Bike to Work Week, which is May 11 – 15. OCTA encourages people who live or work in Orange County to try commuting by bike for Bike to Work Week. This year, the theme for Bike Month is Start a Chain Reaction. Commuting by bike helps to reduce traffic congestion and pollution. It also increases personal and environmental health.
Orange County offers over 1,000 miles of bikeways and is an ideal place to bike.

The Orange County Board of Supervisors announced that Chief Financial Officer Frank Kim will assume the duties of County Executive Officer, following the Board’s ratification of Mr. Kim’s contract on May 12.
Kim was named the County’s top financial officer in May 2013, and previously served as County Budget Director for more than five years. Kim will be the first Asian-American County Executive Office in Orange County history.
The Board also announced that, on May 12, will retire after more than 30 years as a County employee, including two years as CEO after rising through the ranks to become Director of OC Waste & Recycling.
“Mike Giancola is a true example of what it means to rise through the ranks, having started his career over 30 years ago as a front line employee. Working his way through the establishment, Mike offered an understanding of our history and dynamics that proved valuable in shaping Orange County into what it is today. His leadership will be missed,” said Board Chairman and Third District Supervisor Todd Spitzer.
