The Santa Clarita City Council invites the community to attend the Santa Clarita Cycling Bear unveiling dedication on the Chuck Pontius Commuter-Rail Trail on Friday, May 18 at 10 a.m.

The trail is adjacent to Valencia Boulevard, near the AM-PM station at 23106 Valencia Boulevard.

The Santa Clarita Cycling Bear was painted by noted local artist Frank Rock. The theme was inspired by the Amgen Tour of California, the prestigious cycling event the city has hosted a record 13 times.

The dedication will take place during National Bike Week, and National Bike Safety Month in May.

The public art piece is part of the California Bear Project, a project developed in August 2004 by the city of Santa Clarita to install-life-size grizzly bear sculptures throughout the community. Each bear replica measures more than 10 feet long and more than five feet tall, and represents different Santa Clarita themes.

The Santa Clarita Cycling Bear is the sixth bear sculpture to be displayed in the community. Other bear sculptures on display throughout the city include the Santa Clarita Transit Center, Valencia Heritage Park, The Patios at Valencia Town Center, Old Town Newhall Library and at Golden Valley High School.

To RSVP for the unveiling dedication, contact Christy Hawn at chawn@santa-clarita.com by May 14.
