It&#39;s fantastic to hear about your initiative to revitalize Bike to Work/School Day in Ithaca! Transitioning from organizing events for a large county to a smaller town like Ithaca definitely presents its own unique opportunities and challenges, but it sounds like you&#39;re making great strides in bringing the community together around biking. Creating a sense of camaraderie among local cyclists and promoting bike safety and awareness are essential steps towards fostering a thriving biking culture in Ithaca. Offering free bike repairs and prizes for visiting multiple pit stops adds a fun and engaging element to the event, encouraging participation and reinforcing positive biking habits. Tabling locations across Cornell Campus, especially near popular spots like the Dairy Bar, are sure to attract attention and draw in participants from both the university and the broader community. Collaborating with local bike clubs and shops further strengthens the event&#39;s impact and promotes a sense of unity within the biking community. May 3rd sounds like it will be a fantastic day filled with activities and opportunities for cyclists of all levels to come together and celebrate biking. Best of luck with the event, and here&#39;s to a successful Bike to Work/School Day in Ithaca!
