Greetings to you all.
BIKE! Charlotte kickoff: Bike to Work Breakfast
In the years we’ve been organizing BIKE! Charlotte, there couldn’t be a more important time to show support for two wheels in the Queen City. In the past, we have kicked off BIKE! Charlotte with the Mayor’s Ride/Bike To Breakfast. This year, we have changed the name to Bike To Work Breakfast and the destination is now the Government Center on 4th Street. Special guest this year are City Manager Ron Carlee and Center City Partners President Michael Smith.
Please help us spread the word and encourage as many cyclists as possible make this extremely important event. With the presence of the City Manager and it ending at the Government Center, there will likely be a much larger representation from City Council and the local media.
Free breakfast from Lola's (provided by Charlotte Center City Partners) and coffee and juice courtesy of Charlotte B-cycle will follow the ride at the Government Center plaza on 4th Street.
EVENT DETAILS:
Start Location: Dowd YMCA (400 E. Morehead St.) in the parking lot behind the YMCA

Bike To Work Breakfast is your opportunity to show support for cycling in Charlotte! Ride and mingle with the local government decision makers and politicians. It’s a short ride but one of the most important you could ever participate in, if you support cycling in the Queen City! Free breakfast provided by Lola's will follow the ride at the City Hall on 4th Street. Don't forget to bring that brown leather Fossil briefcase with your "contribution" for the Mayor of Biketown!
