By Angela Connolly -- On Thursday April 10, I conducted a "Befriend a Bicycle - Tips for Commuting and Riding" Workshop at the Newark Bike Project. This event was part of the "Lite Lunch" Wellness Activities, a series of Workshops held by the University of Delaware's Department of
Employee Wellness.
Held during the lunch hour, the workshops raise awareness for healthy activities by allowing participants to experience ways to re-charge their batteries during their workweek. With each activity employees attend, they earn incentives to be eligible for a prize drawing.
On the table was information from the
Newark Bike Project, Delaware Bikes,
RideShare Delaware,
White Clay Bicycle Club,
Delaware Trail Spinners, the
Delaware Bicycle Council, and the
Newark Bicycle Committee.

This was a great opportunity to talk about what we do at the Newark Bike
Project, and to raise awareness of the many ways we serve the Community
through our Shop and our bike related activities. |
|
16 ladies and gentlemen were in attendance, and we covered topics such
as, choosing the right bike for your commute, choosing appropriate bags
and clothing, selecting a route, and of course, safety and practical
tips to stay safe and visible on the bike. Participants
took away goodies such as buttons, safety pamphlets, and maps. |
|
An array of goodies from Delaware Bikes was on hand. Participants
were particularly excited about our high-visibility safety ankle snap
bands. Delaware Bikes is an Advisory Committee and Blog that promotes a balanced approach to bicycle
advocacy. |

Angela, talking about what she loves - bicycling! |

The event was enjoyed by all, including these lovely ladies. I would like to thank Linda Smith (far right) for
the opportunity to present this Workshop today. We look forward to
finding new and creative ways to continue to work with the University to
keep their Hens healthy! | | | |
