Bike to Beverage Day
Ride your bike to one of many participating businesses on June 15 and sip on your favorite beverage with incentives to those who ride their bikes in. To receive the incentive, you need to show your bicycle helmet as proof of your ride. Before you go, call your favorite beverage business to confirm the incentive that is being offered. And the City would love to see a photo of you with your bike in front of the business that you visit. Post your photos on Facebook, and use the hashtag #LongmontBike. To see the list of participating businesses visit bit.ly/LongmontBikeMonth.
