The first two Breakfast <br />at the Bridges this year were a great success, serving over 100 people in the community. <br />Breakfast at the Bridges is a share-the-path event sponsored by the City of Eugene and <br />the Eye to Eye campaign. It is designed for bike path users and commuters to stop by on their <br />way to work or during a morning ride, grab a bite to eat and a cup of coffee, meet City staff, <br />learn more about biking in Eugene, and get a quick safety check all at the same time. The <br />event features local advocacy organizations working with the City of Eugene, along with other <br />local businesses providing breakfast and bike repairs. <br />Special thanks to all the volunteers and local business donors who make these events <br />possible: Wandering Goat Coffee Company, Starbucks, Springfield Creamery, Bagel Sphere, <br />Collin’s Cycle Shop, Wheel Works, Paul’s Bicycle Way of Life, Revolution Cycles, GEARs, Bike <br />Lane Coalition, and Safe Routes to School.
