WHAT: |
In celebration of National Bike to Work Day,
Mayor Buddy Dyer will lead Orlando residents to travel to
work “motor-free” on Wednesday, May 19.
Mayor Dyer encourages all citizens and
visitors to celebrate “Bike to Work Day” by riding a bike to
work tomorrow and taking an active role in reducing our
impact on the environment. As part of this event,
participants will also receive a free coffee or tea from
Infusion Tea, bike tune-ups and a LYNX one-way bus pass to
College Park.
The City of Orlando has been a designated
bike-friendly community since 2000 and is home to more than
260 miles of bike trails, signaled routes and lanes. The
City promotes biking as a healthy and energy-efficient form
of transportation through street policies that make roads
safe and accessible to all users; giving away locks, lights,
helmets and refurbished bikes; starting the Pedal for Pride
bike ride with the Parramore Kidz Zone and working directly
with the Orlando Police Department to provide education,
safety training and enforcement for bicycling.
