Ring Your Bell for World Bicycle Day!

​As a celebration and recognition of World Bicycle Day, at 1:00 p.m. on June 3rd you are encouraged to ring your bicycle bell (or honk bicycle horn or ring any bell) for one minute (60 seconds). If you’re riding, ring as you go or pull over off the road (when safe to do so). If you’re not riding, go outside with your bike bell or horn (attached or not to your bicycle). Let’s create a pleasant cacophony to let others know this is a special day!  #WorldBicycleDay
