According to, Paul Skilbeck, Media Public Relations manager, “ArtBike! is also an effort to create a community buzz about just how cool it is to be creative, healthy, and into bikes.
“It is a collaboration of two of the most positive and progressive communities in the world. The goal of ArtBike! is to promote NAHBS and help leave a lasting impression on the city of Sacramento and its neighbors about how fabulous life can be when filled with bicycles and art. When the city, the community, local galleries, NAHBS, artists, bike advocates, and visitors collaborate on a project, the positive energy generated is astounding and resounding.”
