Join the Farmington Canal Rail to Trail Association, the Safe Streets Coalition of New Haven, and the Bradley Street Bicycle Co-op Friday, October 8th at 1:30 pm as they host an 8-mile bike ride with Department of Energy & Environmental Protection Commissioner, Katie Dykes! Commissioner Dykes will share an update on the climate crisis in Connecticut and explain how climate policy and legislation can benefit the cycling community. She will also highlight findings from the latest Connecticut Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventory and share how cyclists can make a tangible impact in reducing greenhouse gasses. We will then head out on a bike ride up the Farmington Canal Trail. This is a “no-drop” ride, the pace will be slow, no one will be left behind. 

The 8-mile ride will start at Scantlebury Park (139 Ashmun St, New Haven), and end at College Woods Park (41 Cold Spring St, New Haven). You can find the route here! Plan to be at the start by 1:30 pm Friday, October 8th for the Commissioner’s remarks and to join the bike ride to follow. The rain date and time are Friday, October 22nd, 10:00 am.
