In celebration of Florida Bike Month, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor will hop on her bike and join the Downtown’s Bike to Work Ride and Rally on Thursday morning, March 13th. Hosted by the Tampa Downtown Partnership, the ride will end with a rally at Lykes Gaslight Park. Tampa City Councilwoman Lynn Hurtak will also be riding along.
The Tampa Police Department’s bike patrol will escort the ride and will be in the park afterwards registering bicycles. Coffee, snacks, and several exhibitors will also be available.
