þҹӰԺѹۿ faculty, staff members and students are invited to walk or ride a bicycle along the þҹӰԺѹۿ Esplanade to the downtown þҹӰԺѹۿ restaurant, Laziza, during the second annual “Let’s Take a Ride/Walk” event on Thursday, Sept. 20, from 11:30 a.m. Free lunch will be served by Laziza to all participants, and valuable coupons for Main Street merchants will be available.
The event offers the opportunity for participants to hear about new shops coming to Acorn Alley II in downtown þҹӰԺѹۿ, and learn biking tips from the Portage Cyclery experts.
Registration tables for the event will be located by the information desk in the þҹӰԺѹۿ Student Center, which also is the takeoff point for the walk and bike ride. Participants can choose to ride their own bikes or get a free rental from FlashFleet at the þҹӰԺѹۿ Student Center.
Students earn 500 FLASHperk reward points by participating in this event.
Organizers of the event say the support of the þҹӰԺѹۿ State community is key to the success of local downtown businesses. Downtown þҹӰԺѹۿ merchants hope to complete the overall þҹӰԺѹۿ State community and college town experience.
“Let’s Take a Ride/Walk” is sponsored by þҹӰԺѹۿ State’s Taskforce on Sustainability, Laziza, Miracle on Main Street (M.O.M.S), Main Street þҹӰԺѹۿ, OneþҹӰԺѹۿ, Portage Cyclery and TransPORTAGE.
