Are you ready to Get There By Bike?
“Get There By Bike” is Bike Newport’s initiative to make biking a safe, fun, and inviting transportation choice to Aquidneck Island events and destinations. The goal is to reduce traffic congestion, parking stress, and carbon emissions by making it easier for people to ditch their cars and switch to biking and walking. We are thankful for the generous support of 11th Hour Racing and the de Ramel Foundation – helping everyone to Get There By Bike!
“Get There By Bike” builds upon existing collaborations with marquee events like the Folk and Jazz Festivals and newportFILM Summer Series and welcomed new partners including the International Tennis Hall of Fame and their “Hall of Fame Open,” Bowen’s Wharf Seafood Festival, and Norman Bird Sanctuary and their Harvest Fair.
The list of participating events and destinations continues to grow, leading to more and more people choosing to ride bicycles for a more pleasant, affordable, and sustainable island experience.
