Beat the traffic and
ride your bicycle downtown to see the spectacular fireworks over the Detroit
River on Monday, June 23rd, 2014! To make Active Transportation the obvious
choice, the Windsor Bicycling Committee will provide valet bike parking
service just minutes from the Riverfront and Festival Plaza.
Beginning at 7pm, you
can bring your bike to Charles Clark Square (University
Avenue East, across from City Hall) and lock it up safely in the WBC's valet
bike parking corral. Volunteers from the committee will be on hand all evening,
watching the bikes and ensuring their safety.
Cyclists
are asked to bring a lock for their bike- the volunteers will use the lock to
keep your bike even safer while they watch over it. Each rider will receive a
ticket to hold onto during the evening; you'll have to return this ticket in
order to retrieve your bike. This free service will be available for everyone
from 7pm until 11:30pm.
Bike
safety literature and Windsor bike trail maps will also be available!
Remember
to wear your helmet and light-coloured clothing, and don't forget to put lights
on your bikes for the ride home after the fireworks!
