Free Breakfast for Biking to Work

TransOptions Hosts Bike to Work Month Events

 TransOptions, the Transportation Management Association of northwestern New Jersey, is encouraging commuters who live or work in northwestern New Jersey to give up their solo drive to work by bicycle riding during May for National Bike to Work Month.

“Giving up a solo ride to work, even for one day, is a healthy, alternative commute which also reduces traffic congestion and air pollution,” comments John F. Ciaffone, TransOptions President.  “It’s gratifying to see the event grow each year as more and more commuters realize the multiple benefits of bicycling."

This year’s sponsors are Cycle Craft, Eastern Propane, REI, The RBA Group, The Hyatt Morristown, Marty’s Reliable Cycle, Madison Bicycle Shop, SmartWorld Coffee, Thorlabs, Drip Coffee and Whole Foods Market Madison.

There are 5 Bike to Work Week Breakfast Stops This Year: As part of the month long Challenge, TransOptions will be hosting five commuter breakfast stops to welcome and support Challenge participants and bike enthusiasts.       

Morning breakfast stops will be held from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. at five locations:
