Durham Celebrates National Bike-to-Work Week May 11-15

 

Durham, N.C. - Durham bicycling enthusiasts should mark their calendars
now to attend two events that will celebrate National Bike-to-Work Week.


 

The events, hosted by the Durham Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Commission, begin on Wednesday, May 13, with a "Cyclists' Social" at
Alivia's Durham Bistro, located at 900 E. Main Street (corner of Main
and Gregson Streets).  From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., cyclists can enjoy free
food and giveaways. 

 

On Friday, May 15 from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., a "Bike-to-Work Breakfast" will
be held at Five Points Plaza (corner of Main and Chapel Hill Streets in
downtown Durham).  Cyclists will enjoy free food and coffee from Ninth
Street Bakery along with prizes.  Mechanics from The Bicycle Chain's
Durham location will also be on hand to provide free safety checks and
basic adjustments to bicycles.
