All cyclists are welcome to stop by the breakfast station at Blue River Plaza between 7 and 10 a.m. for free coffee, juice, muffins, bagels and other breakfast items.
The community is invited to continue the celebration of Bike to Work Day in the evening with a Bike-In Movie. Click here for more details.
In addition to celebrating Bike to Work Day, community members are encouraged to participate in other bicycling activities this month.
To make bike commuting easy and safe, Summit County Open Space & Trails offers the following tips:
· Pack your bag of work clothes and any other items you'll need the night before. This minimizes prep time and logistical details on the morning of your commute.
· Ensure your bicycle is safe to ride (air in the tires, brakes working, chain lubed, etc.).
· Contact the Summit County Open Space & Trails Department ahead of time if you need assistance planning a bicycle route to your workplace.
· Check the weather forecast the night before so you can make the right clothing and gear choices; early morning bike rides at high elevations may require a warm outer layer and gloves. Be prepared for afternoon showers on the way home.
· Don't forget your helmet!
