With last year’s announcement of the City of Wyoming’s Bike Night with the Mayor, Mayor Jack Poll thought it would be a good idea if he got a bike to participate in the event.
“So I went out to [Mayor Pro-Tem Sam] Bolt here who is the king of cyclists and he told me just what bike to buy,” Poll said during a recent City Council meeting. “So I bought that bike and I rode those two miles. Now this year will be mile three and four put on that new bike.”
Due to the success of last year’s Bike Night with the Mayor, the city will be hosting its second Bike Night with the Mayor on Thursday, Aug. 10. The event will start at Monelli’s Italian Grill and Sports Bar, 5675 Byron Center Ave. SW, at 7 p.m. The group will travel north on the Kent Trails for about two miles. Along the way, bike lights, ice cream and other prizes will be handed out.
“So grease those tires on that bike and come out and take a little bike ride with me,” Poll said.
Other events coming up in the City of Wyoming are National Night Out on Aug. 1 with the Concerts in the Parks series concluding with a celebration at Lamar Park, 2561 Porter St. SW., and the Buck Creek Clean Up on Aug. 5. For details on the clean up, click here.
