Do you know where free open WI-FI (wireless internet) is in Henderson KY?

Henderson County Public Library

May is National Bicycle Month and cities and towns all around are promoting bicycling.

Join me and others that have signed a pledge to support more people on bicycles.  You could win a bicycle!

The pledge is simple but profound:

“I am for bikes. I’m for long rides and short rides. I’m for commuting to work, weekend rides, racing, riding to school, or just a quick spin around the block. I believe that no matter how I ride, biking makes me happy and is great for my health, my community and the environment we all share. That is why I am pledging my name in support of a better future for bicycling — one that is safe and fun for everyone. By uniting my voice with a million others, I believe that we can make our world a better place to ride.”

When is the last time you rode a bicycle?
