May 12-16 is National Bike to Work Week, and the city of Durham is going to help its residents celebrate: the Durham Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission is sponsoring a Cyclist's Social at Tyler's Taproom (Wed. 5:00-7:00 p.m.) and a Bike to Work Day Breakfast at Mad Hatter's Café and Bake Shop (Fri. 7:00-9:00 a.m.).

Cyclists' who attend these events will enjoy free food and prize giveaways, and attendees of the Bike to Work Day Breakfast will also get free bike safety checks and adjustments courtesy of REI.

If you have any questions about these events, or general questions about bicycling in Durham, contact Dale McKeel, the Durham Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator (Durham really does take cycling seriously!) by emailing dale.mckeel@durhamnc.gov or calling (919) 560-4366.
