Mayor John Haila and Ames City Council members will kick off National Bike to Work Week by hosting a free Bike Commuter Continental Breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m. on Monday, May 16, in front of City Hall, 515 Clark Ave. The event is planned for outside but will move to the City Hall foyer if weather is a concern. Stop by for a breakfast snack and drink.
May is National Bike Month, and National Bike to Work Week is May 16 to 22. Ames residents are encouraged to bike to work, school, or around their neighborhood. Biking has health benefits, and it promotes sustainability by lowering a person’s carbon footprint. The week will end with the annual Mayor and City Council bike ride beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 21, in the west parking lot of City Hall, 515 Clark Ave. Participation is free, and no registration is required. Helmets are strongly encouraged.
For more information on the City’s Bike Commuter Continental Breakfast, contact Susan Gwiasda, Public Relations Officer, at susan.gwiasda@cityofames.org or 515.239.5204.
