Bike for Life, Moscow Idaho Encouraging people to get on their bikes

National Bike to Work Day was enthusiastically observed for the ninth year in Moscow this May. Bike for Life was formed in 2009 by a group of Moscow bicyclists who recognized the need to celebrate the joy that comes with being on a bike. Local shops are happy to show their support by donating coffee and baked goods. Bike for Life members greeted the many friendly bicyclists at a well-travelled intersection, with free coffee, croissants and assorted bike trinkets.

Hi all,

We hope you’ll join us for Bike to Work Day, tomorrow, Friday, May 19, 7 – 9:00am at the corner of 6th & Main.  The Bike for Life crew will be set up in front of Maialina Pizza to cheer on all the amazing cyclists of our community.  Stop by for a FREE cup of coffee (provided by One World Cafe) and baked goodies (thanks to Panhandle Bakery)!  If you need of a safety upgrade, we have a limited number of front/rear light sets to give away.  Plus other swag and biking info.
