It's #MonkeyAroundDay! Lemurs may not be monkeys, but the red-ruffed lemur pups have no problem "monkeying around"🐵 #DYK both lemurs and monkeys are primates, but lemurs are of a different suborder? Lemurs, unlike monkeys, have a moist nose and rely more on their sense of smell.

🙌 A huge shoutout to our incredible bike partners!
Your dedication to our community is truly commendable. By offering FREE on-site bike repairs, you saved countless participants from having to leave the event early due to minor issues like a flat tire or other repair needs.

We have a big update regarding Micro-Enterprise Home Kitchen Operations, or MEHKO!

As a reminder, MEHKO is a program currently being considered in Santa Clara County that would allow residents to apply for a permit to prepare and sell food from their home.
