Get on that bike and ditch the car

A “Bike to Work” ride will be held in Waynesville May 20 on National Bike to Work Day. The length is about three miles and is mainly over flat terrain.

The ride will begin at the large parking lot beside the new Super Wal-Mart at 8 a.m. The ride will follow South Main Street to Brown Avenue, go through the Hazelwood and by Waynesville Middle and Central Elementary School, a cruise down Waynesville’s Main Street before ending at the town’s mini-park at the intersection of Depot and Main streets.

At the conclusion of the ride, participants will be treated to coffee and pastries by ride co-sponsor Smoky Mountain Café. Members of BicycleHaywoodNC will be available to answer questions and take comments about the Haywood County Bike Plan currently under development.

Participants should arrive early to register, and should provide their own bicycle and helmet. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or www.bicyclehaywoodnc.org.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
