A lively session with real community impact.
🚴 Bike Month Celebration
May was Bike Month, and Raleigh embraced it with group rides, community outreach, and efforts to boost two‑wheeled transit. The transportation open house at Chavis Park was part of that momentum—understandably so as the city pushes for safer streets and cycling culture year‑round.
