Like to get some more movement into your day? Jump on your bike and enjoy a free Ride to Work Day breakfast and coffee in Bendigo’s Civic Gardens, Lyttleton Terrace from 7am on Wednesday October 15, thanks to Bike Bendigo and the City of Greater Bendigo.
Bike Bendigo President Nicola Dunnicliff-Wells said the free breakfast event was one of many around the country celebrating National Ride to Work Day.
“Pedalling to work is an easy way to build regular physical activity into the week – and we all feel better for that! With Bendigo in full bloom, it’s a joy to be out,” Ms Dunnicliff-Wells said.
“Ride to Work Day and the free breakfast is all about encouraging people to give it a try, or a little nudge to get back on your bike again if you’ve got out of the habit. It’s also a nice way to come together and celebrate if you already ride to work.
“If you’re looking for a safe cycling route, the cycling map on the City’s website shows Bendigo’s off-road cycling network, as well as suggested on-road routes. Plan your route in advance as the best way to ride is likely to be different from the way you’d drive.”
Information about the Bendigo Low Line which will use 4.4km of the built channel of Bendigo Creek as an active transport corridor to provide safe off-road transport in and out of the city centre will be available at the breakfast, with City of Greater Bendigo staff on hand to answer any questions.
Bring your own mug for coffee from Motherbean from 7am and enjoy egg and bacon rolls cooked by the Rotary Club of Bendigo from 7.30am. Cereal, fruit and yoghurt will also be available. There will also be live music from Bendigo South-East College’s Academy of Creative Arts.
Bike Bendigo is grateful to the City of Greater Bendigo, Woolworths Bendigo Marketplace, Woolworths Epsom, Strath Village IGA, Keans Poultry and Bakers Delight Bendigo Marketplace, and to the Rotary Club of Bendigo and Bendigo South East College for their support of the breakfast.
