Over 20 students took part in the guided ride that marks the first event of the Indiana County Active Transportation Advisory Committee’s Safe Biking and Walking month.  Indiana Borough Police, IUP Campus Police, the Indiana County Sheriff’s office and Citizens’ Ambulance will accompanied riders on the road.  Breakfast snacks were provided by IRMC and Indiana Cycling Center held bike safety checks before the ride started.

Several other events are planned for this month, including a “Bike to work day” on May 16^th, a bicycle rodeo from the Children’s Advisory Commission the following day, a safe walking, biking and driving workshop on May 20^th, and the relaunch of the Indiana Borough Walkworks route on May 30^th.
