Promoting Bike Safety @ Schenectady Greenmarket

May is National Bike Month! Time to clean the winter dust off your bike and get out there riding. With the warmer weather, we see many more cyclists on the road. From children in our neighborhoods to bike commuters, cycling activity is picking up for the year and this is the perfect time to get a refresher on bike safety and encourage safety for our youngest riders.

Thanks to a grant from the Capital Coexist program (www.capitalcoexist.org) you can expect to see members of the Schenectady County Environmental Advisory Council and Electric City Bike Rescue on-hand to provide valuable information about bicycle safety, handing out kid-oriented safety activity books and a limited number of children’s bicycle helmets, re-usable water bottles, and information on an upcoming Solarize-focused bike ride. Volunteers from the Bike Rescue will be on-hand fixing bicycles for donation, to talk with you about the Bike Rescue, and provide advice on how to maintain and fix your bike so that it is in top shape for riding this season.
