In particular, the Mayor is inviting residents to ride their bike to work on Friday, May 16 and stop by the City&#8217;s Bike to Work Breakfast at Headwaters Park from 6:30-8 a.m. where they can enjoy free Starbucks coffee, bagels from the Bagel Station and sweet treats from Pembroke Bakery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The City is committed to incorporating additional bike lanes and bike trails throughout our transportation system in order to encourage more and safer cycling,&#8221; said Mayor Henry. &#8220;When people ride their bikes instead of drive cars, they help reduce pollution and traffic congestion while also improving their health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Bike to Work Day Breakfast, numerous other bike month activities are planned in May. Three Rivers Velo Sport, Fort Wayne Outfitters and Bike Depot, Fort4Fitness, Bicycle Friendly Fort Wayne, the Cinema Center, and the Dash In are all offering events and activities to celebrate the month. The event listing is attached and can be found online at: www.fwcommunitydevelopment.org\/bikemonth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='b2a804c9c214b99b55baa150076795b6' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
