 The streets of South Bend and its surrounding areas will likely be packed with a lot more bikes than usual — Monday marks the beginning of Bike to Work Week.

Despite the chilly weather Monday morning, the annual event encourages workers to skip the car — and pedal to work instead.

The event, sponsored by the Bike Michiana Coalition, involves a lot more than just biking to work.

Tuesday, there will be a free blueberry pancake breakfast at 7 a.m. for cyclists. The event will take place in front of the LaSalle Grill in Downtown South Bend.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg plans to be there.

Friday at 11:30 a.m., there will be a “Bike to Lunch” gathering at the former College Football Hall of Fame building.

These events all lead up to Sunday’s Bike the Bend event — a 30-mile, round-trip bike ride from St. Pat’s Park to Mishawaka’s Merrifield Park.

On Thursday, June 7, 2012, a car crossed the centerline on a rural Elkhart County road and hit two cyclists head-on, killing them both. One died at the scene, the other died hours later in an area hospital from blunt force trauma to his chest. The driver of the car was allegedly high on Methamphetamine. He is currently sitting in jail, awaiting trial on two counts of “causing the death of another person while operating a vehicle, under the influence of a controlled substance”: Class B felonies. He is a resident of Goshen, and faces up to 40 years in prison for the counts. The teens were David Anglemyer, 18, and Daniel Runion, 19, of Goshen. They were best of buddies. Continue reading »
