Residents are invited to start their morning on their bikes with a National Bike to Work Day Celebration on Thursday, May 28. The community will gather at the Sherman Green Gazebo from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. for free coffee and conversation with other area bikers.
Hosted by the Fairfield Bicycle & Pedestrian Committee with the Fairfield Safe Streets Alliance (FSSA), the morning event encourages residents to enjoy biking as a healthy and sustainable form of transportation. Promoting safe streets for all users, including pedestrians, bikers, and drivers is a key focus of both the Town of Fairfield Bicycle-Pedestrian Committee and FSSA, in coordination with the Safe Streets for All grant-funded survey and Safety Action Plan.
“Bike to Work Day is designed to promote healthy transportation choices and encourage more residents to be bike commuters,” said First Selectperson Christine Vitale. “Rather than always relying on a vehicle to travel to a workplace or the train station, why not try biking? The initiative aligns with Complete Streets principles, which highlight the importance of safe, walkable, rideable and connected streets in our neighborhoods.”
Participants who ride to the Gazebo before heading to their jobs will enjoy:
• Free coffee, courtesy of Sound Coffee
• Complimentary water bottles provided by Trek Bicycle
• Connecting with other cyclists and community safe riding advocates
Organizers hope that the event will inspire more people to consider biking as part of their daily activities.
The event is free and open to the public.
