Bike from Park to Park Taking Place in Winter Park this Month

Florida Governor Charlie Crist recently announced March as Florida Bicycle Month, and as a way of recognizing the theme, the City of Winter Park Pedestrian & Bicycle and
Advisory Board will be hosting the annual Bike from Park to Park, now on its 2nd straight year.

The event, taking place on the 26th of March at 8 in the morning, begins with avid bikers starting the ride at Winter Park, Florida’s, picturesque Mead Garden. Participants at the event will be treated to some morning refreshments compliments of Panera Bread.

Bike from Park to Park is a project that’s in line with the goal of promoting Winter Park as a city that’s friendly to pedestrians and bikers, an environment where innovations are embraced without severe consequences to the environment.

This event is also a part of Winter Park’s “Green Local Government” initiative, a mission to transform the city into one of the United States’ premiere eco-friendly cities through “green” policies and programs. Bike from Park to Park was also created to raise awareness on the importance of living an active and healthy lifestyle.
