Michiana Bike to Work May 11-15

IMAGINE... No parking fees, less visits to the gas pump, a free breakfast to start your work day, a solid work-out without a trip to the gym, maybe dropping a few pounds, or firming up your quads & calves just in time for Summer, or just getting your cardio pumping stronger again, or boosting both your Vitamin D and mood.  All of this is possible because May is “National Bike Month” and the annual Michiana Bike to Work Week starts on Monday, May 11! Sponsored by Bike Michiana Coalition.

Monday, May 11       Casual, no-drop ride on local trails with  Michiana Bicycle Association

Tuesday, May 12  Pancake Breakfast / Mayor's Address  

​Jon Hunt Plaza | 211 N Michigan, South Bend  7:30-9am   

Join us under the marquee of the Morris Performing Arts Center for a free breakfast.  Whether you ride to work, ride casually, or are just ride-curious, come chow down & tap into all things bike-centric!  

Wednesday, May 13  South Bend Bike Garage Open-House  

119 Wayne Street, South Bend  5-8pm  

Check out the bikes for sale, have a bike fixed, learn how to earn a bike, or drop off a bike to donate!   

Thursday, May 14  Roll Out Bike Ride  

Meet in the old 7-11 parking lot at 501 E LaSalle Avenue, South Bend   6pm  

Several different skill-level groups roll out by 6:15 for casual multi-length bike rides on SB bike trails OR for longer and faster 12+ mile road routes. Then hit the East Bank for food, drink, and friendship.  

Friday, May 15  Cycling Community Night Ride  

Howard Park | 219 S St. Louis, South Bend  8:30-11pm  

Dress up your bike, wear fun clothes, and charge up your lights because we're going for a night ride.   

And there’s more!  BTWW includes clinics, minor repairs, events for kids, lessons for adults, and safety checks.  A list of all BTWW events can be found here https://www.michianabiketowork.org/  

As we work to create a healthy, connected community, we hope to see you, a co-worker, a family or friend, or your crew on a bike seat next week and throughout May (and really, thereafter)!
