Bike to Work Dec. 9
Ready to ride? Winter Bike to Work Day is Wednesday, Dec. 9. CSU will host a breakfast station, sponsored by Parking and Transportation Services, on the south side of the Moby Arena parking lot from 7-9:30 a.m. The station will serve bike commuters free breakfast burritos, fruit, juice and coffee.
The CSU station will be one of several across the city.
