Sacramento's newest bike rack is just in time for this weekend's Amgen Tour of California. There it sits, on the corner of 19th and O, right outside of Zuda Yoga Center. The smell of fresh concrete, a green metal masterpiece, new paint - it's the real deal. 

The Sacramento-themed bike rack, which has a depiction of a bicycle inside the State Capitol Building, was installed earlier this morning. The work of art already had a blue bike locked to it this afternoon. 

Zuda's owners, spouses Anne Marie Kramer and Bill Prysock, had been actively "trying to get a bike rack installed" outside their business for approximately six months, said Yoga Coordinator Amanda Johnson. 

Johnson added, "We are proud to have it since we have a lot of students who bike to their yoga class." 

Recently, the Department of Transportation agreed to take over the issue of bike parking, and according to the Sacramento Bee, the city plans to install about 100 more. 

Jerry Way, City Director of Transportation said to the Bee, "We are adding a good-looking parking asset that will accommodate no less than two bicycles at a time." He also said that in some cases they will be larger and hold more bikes.

I was on hand to witness yesterday's installation and felt very proud listening to the presenter speak of Sacramento as a true world-class, bike friendly city.
