CHECK-IN LOCATIONS EXPANDED FOR
FOURTH ANNUAL BIKE TO WORK DAY:
Otsego Regional Cycling Advocates, a committee of the Otsego County Conservation Association, is planning its fourth annual Bike to Work Day for Wednesday, Friday, May 16. 25 check-in locations throughout the county, from last year will be confirmed, with it is hoped more will sign on.
The aim of this event is to encourage people to choose an alternative “green” mode of transportation – biking, walking or even skateboarding – to get to work or school, to run errands, or just for fun, on May 16 in particular and as a lifestyle choice in general. Bike to Work Day check-in locations throughout the county will be staffed from 6:30-9:00 a.m.
Those interested in participating, in setting up a check-in station, or in recruiting riders and walkers are encouraged to call Martha Clarvoe at 607-547-4020 or email me at martha.clarvoe@gmail.com. Competition between local businesses for the most employee participation is encouraged.
Event organizers are offering departure location information. This is so that participants can coordinate with each other to ride or walk together. This information can be found in the question section.
