Greenville’s Bike-to-Work Day will take place this year on Friday, May 18th. At 7:30 am, Mayor Knox White will lead a short ride starting at the Hincapie Sportswear’s office (45 Pete Hollis Boulevard Greenville, SC 29601) and ending at Piazza Bergamo downtown. At Piazza Bergamo, a coffee and bagel breakfast will be served to all bike commuters and the Mayor will be on hand to update us on the progress that has been made this year toward making Greenville an LAB designated “Bicycle Friendly Community”. There will also be drawings for great prizes and lots of good information about bike commuting and advocacy, so don’t miss it.
More information about the event will follow, but for now mark your calendars and plan to attend to show your support for bike friendly initiatives in Greenville. Even if you can’t make it downtown for the event, plan to ride your bike to work on May 18th. Between now and then I will post links to some great bicycle commuting resources on the web to help some of you get started. I have been commuting to work by bike off and on for about 15 years, so if you have specific questions about bicycle commuting, feel free to email me at jctdesign@gmail.com and I will do my best to answer them.
I hope to see many of you in a few weeks downtown.
