bike to work day - may 16th

When: May 16, 2008; 7:30 a.m.
Where: Parking lot of First United Methodist Church, ride to the MSU Union

Dozens of residents leaving their cars at home and riding their bikes to work --that's the vision of the groups sponsoring Starkville's third Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 16.

A group bicycle ride is planned. Riders will assemble in the parking lot of First United Methodist Church at Lampkin and Meigs Streets. The group will depart at 7:30 a.m., riding east on Main Street and University Drive to the Colvard Student Union on the Mississippi State University campus. Helmets are required.

The group ride is not just for avid cyclists--"occasional" bike riders are welcome. The event is being organized by Starkville in Motion, a local organization working to promote a more walkable and bikeable community, in partnership with Bulldawg Cycling, a group of local cycling enthusiasts, and the Starkville Central Neighborhood Foundation, encouraging people to live, work, and play in historic Starkville.
