PROCLAMATION: National Bike Month

The Town of Wallingford is committed to fostering a vibrant, active, and healthy community for all who live, work, and play here. Ensuring that residents have access to safe opportunities for physical activity is essential to the long-term health of our community. Something as simple and enjoyable as bicycling, helps prevent chronic diseases, supports healthy aging, and improves overall quality of life. Active communities also see added benefits such as stronger local economies, safer streets, and more connected neighborhoods; and biking provides an accessible way for families and individuals to be active while traveling to local destinations. When our community is welcoming and safe for biking, it becomes easier for everyone to enjoy outdoor recreation, reduce transportation barriers, and experience the many physical and mental health benefits of movement.

Therefore Mayor Cervoni has proclaimed May as National Bike Month.
