During the month of May (Bike Month), GO Bike Buffalo is promoting a series of bike-friendly events aimed at getting you out on the road, on two wheels, safely.
One of the events that has taken place for a couple of years, is the commuter breakfast series that teams up bike commuters with valuable pit-stops on their way to work. It’s a chance for commuters to fuel up on coffee and food, and meet other commuters along the way. For one week straight, GO Bike Buffalo is hosting the Commuter Breakfast at a series of neighborhood hotspots. This is also a great way to learn about a number of bike-friendly destinations in the city.
Depending on the day and the venue, there will be edible swag, (for example) a free cup of coffee, complementary “bike fuel bags” complete with PB&J on a roll, fruit, power bar, coupons, etc.
