Bike Passport Program A Great Way To Tour Milford

MILFORD, CT — As National Bike Month starts, the city of Milford is celebrating through its Bike Milford Passport Program.

City officials said Milford’s Bike Passport Program runs the entire month of May and is a great way to tour the city of Milford.

Those who want to participate in the program can pick up a passport card from any participating business or the recreation department.

Participating businesses include CappuGino’s Coffee, Good Morning Cupcake, Touchdown Nutrition, Scratch Baking, Walnut Beach Coffee House, Nate’s Plates, Cafe Atlantique, Cone Zone, Sprout Juice and Tony’s Bikes.

After receiving the passport, bike to the businesses on the back of the card and get the passport stamped. Each stamp equals one entry into the raffle.

Hand in the passport during the May 28 Bike Rodeo, drop it off in the recreation office, or send a photo of the passport to bcarlson@milfordct.gov.
