COM-Bike SeminarThe City of Noblesville will host a free Bicycle Friendly Community Seminar from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 25 at Noblesville City Hall in Room A214. The seminar is presented free of charge by Bicycle Indiana and the Indiana State Dept. of Health Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity.

“We’re thrilled to be hosting this educational event,” Mayor John Ditslear said. “The benefits of bicycling are tremendous not only for citizens, but businesses and organizations as well.”

This half-day seminar will provide attendees with the knowledge and skills needed to plan for bicycling as a means of active transportation and recreation in the community. Topics of discussion will include: bicycling and public health, bike safety lesson, bikeway network, other infrastructure, non-infrastructure programs, implementation, a Q&A session, luncheon presentation on economic benefits of promoting and encouraging bicycling, and bike suitability mapping exercise.

Preregistration is required and must be received by June 20. To register or for more information, contact Amy Shankland at [email protected] or call 776-6324.
