Title

Proclamation recognizing May as National Bike Month in Farmers Branch.

 

Body

BACKGROUND:

Since 1956, May has been recognized as National Bike Month by the League of American Bicyclists. Communities across the country encourage residents to participate in programs and events to help create a more Bicycle Friendly America.  The North Central Texas Council of Governments, our regional association of local governments, support May 19th as National Bike to Work Day and May 10th as Bike to School Day. 

 

Bicycling is an excellent option for both transportation and recreation.  It is a great enjoyment for the entire family.   Bicycling is fun, improves health and wellness and is an environmentally sound means of transportation.  May is the perfect opportunity for the City of Farmers Branch to showcase these benefits.
