National Bike to Work Day To Be Held Friday

If you’ve thought about biking to work, Friday is your opportunity. 

May 17 is National Bike to Work Day, and, for the third year, Bike Newport is hosting a day for all to hop out of the car and onto the saddle – for health, economy, environment, and fun.

Last year, 300 people participated in Newport’s Bike to Work Day, and 70 cyclists rounded the city in the afternoon Community Ride. Bike Newport hopes to see both numbers topped this year with many more people opting to choose the method that burns calories rather than fossil fuels – reducing traffic and increasing enjoyment in the process.
