Volunteers from Elm City Cycling with girls from the Farnham Neighborhood House
Volunteers from Elm City Cycling conducted a five-week bicycle safety program for seven girls in conjunction with the Farnham Neighborhood House. The girls learned bicycle inspection, basic rules of the road, and safe handling. The group took two rides on the Farmington Canal Trail before a ride on city streets from the Farnham House to Quinnipiac River Park.
May might be National Bike Month, but June is Bike Month in New Haven! The annual International Festival of Arts & Ideas kicks off this weekend and as in years past, riders from Elm City Cycling will be leading a series of bicycle tours in conjunction with the festival. See the full schedule at the Festival website.

Bike to Work Day is Friday, May 17th. Stop by Pitkin Plaza, in front of the Devil’s Gear, 151 Orange Street, between 7:30-9:30 a.m. for a free breakfast, the release of Elm City Cycling’s 2013 Bike Plan, a chance to check out the bike rack on a city bus, and more! For all cyclists (even if you’re not biking to work) and commuting pedestrians. Sponsored by the Devil’s Gear. We had 125 folks at last May’s BTW breakfast and still got beat out by Hartford. Let’s stir up a little New Haven-Hartford competition and win this year! See you there!
