Grab your helmets and water bottles, and pedal on over to 43 Bradford Street (back parking lot). Celebrate National Bike Month and get ready for Safe Routes to School’s spring Walk, Bike and Roll to School Days.

There will be fun for all ages and abilities, whether you are using a balance bike, just learning to pedal, want to check out an e-bike, or are interested in learning more about accessible biking options.

We’ll have bike safety courses and tips, bike checks, bike decorating, face painting and more! Sign up for skill-building workshops beginning at 1 pm and 2 pm for children of all skill levels. You can plan your visit around one of these workshops, but there will also be drop-in activities.
