The event will include free breakfast, bike safety and other information from both the <br />City of Eugene and GEARs, free bike bells installed on bikes, and bike safety checks and tune <br />ups provided by Collin’s Cycle Shop. This is the first Breakfast at the Bridges for the summer. <br />The event will continue through the summer on the third Friday of every month. <br />Breakfast at the Bridges is designed for bike path users and commuters to stop by on <br />their way to work, grab a quick bite to eat and a cup of coffee, meet City Staff, learn more about <br />biking in Eugene, and get a quick safety check all at the same time. On June 19th, City of <br />Eugene Staff will also be providing information on the upcoming Amazon Path Rehabilitation <br />project that will be occurring on the Amazon path this summer, beginning in July. Construction <br />will rehabilitate Amazon Path from 19th to 31st avenues, which has numerous cracks due to <br />unstable, expansive-clay subsurface that was built in the 1970s. Information on the path project <br />and alternate routes during construction will be provided during this event. <br />Thanks to all who have donated for this event: Collin’s Cycle Shop, Wandering Goat <br />Coffee Company, Bagel Sphere, Springfield Creamery, and GEARs. <br />For additional information, please contact Sarah Thorpe at 682-5378 or <br />Sarah.D.Thorpe@ci.eugene.or.us. <br />
