Jackie Chapa, a presiding judge at the corpus Christi Municipal Court shared a few words about how the inspiration for this event came to be.
“It’s something we’ve been talking about to promote, to get out to the community to promote safety,” said Chapa. “t’s really about going out there and being safe in our community. We want all our citizens to be safe whether they are riding bikes and driving cars- and our teenagers.”
Chapa also explained how drivers should yield to bikers and share the road.
