Pump up the tires and knock the rust off the pedals: May is Bike Month at NC State.
With many students off campus between the spring semester and first session of summer school, there won’t be as much traffic to dodge, so those faculty, staff and students who are around are invited to ride to work and to participate in several campus events during May.
May 6 is the annual Capital City Bike Ride. A group of NC State riders will gather at the Belltower at 8 a.m. to join the larger group in Boylan Heights at approximately 8:30 a.m. Registration is requested at either the event’s Facebook page or Eventbrite page. The ride will wander through the streets and greenways of Raleigh.
May 20 is the NC State Bike to Work Day Pit Stop on Centennial Campus, part of the regional Bike Month celebration to encourage and reward people who commute to campus by bicycle. Participants will receive Raleigh bike maps, bike lights, a copy of the book Everyday Cycling by Elly Blue, commuter accessories and a light breakfast.
The pit stop will be located at Centennial Campus’ Venture III building from 7 to 9 a.m. For more information, visit the Facebook page or EventBrite page.
The event is sponsored by NC State’s Wolftrails in partnership with the Institute of Transportation Research and Education, Centennial Campus Development and GoSmart.
