HER Helmet Thursdays — on Sea Otter Classic’s Opening Day, and on Thursdays year-round

The hospitality professionals in the five 15-second video greetings below want to be sure visitors, and locals, are aware that people who help HER / Mother Earth by bicycling are appreciated throughout Monterey County.
They especially want you to know that even on the Opening Day of Sea Otter Classic, Monterey County’s HER Helmet Thursdays discounts are in effect. We wouldn’t think of making Sea Otter’s Opening Day a restricted date. Welcome, people who bike!
Scroll down for a video greeting from the duo
pictured here, plus four more 15-second videos.
On Thursdays year-round, Monterey County rolls out a red carpet for people who bike: the HER Helmet Thursdays Project’s 10-50% discounts. Where? See the complete list right here; click the link directly below to download PDF:
