The Windsor Bicycling Committee is offering a free breakfast as an incentive for residents to commute by bicycle on Friday, May 31.

The Bike to Work day event will trace a route along dedicated trails and bike lanes. Participants will leave the WFCU Centre at 6:45 a.m., head along the Ganatchio Trail, Riverside Drive and riverfront routes to arrive by 8 a.m. at the CBC building at the foot of Crawford Avenue, where they will enjoy a complimentary breakfast of bagels, coffee, juice and fruit.

The University of Windsor is a sponsor of the event, which organizer Kari Gignac credits with helping to highlight some of the city’s new trails and bike lanes. Learn more on the committee’s website.
