Grant | Signal Tribune)<\/p>\nLong Beach will celebrate National Bike Month throughout May with a lineup of bike-related events to encourage residents to use their bicycles for both recreation and transportation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to the City of Long Beach, the city currently has more than 150 miles of bikeways, with plans to expand that number to 300 miles by 2040.<\/p>\n
\u201cNational Bike Month is a great opportunity for residents to get outdoors, stay active and explore all that Long Beach has to offer,\u201d Mayor Rex Richardson said in a public statement. \u201cLong Beach continues to expand a network of bike-friendly streets that make it easier and safer for people of all ages to get around. I encourage our community to take part in events throughout May and experience how bicycling supports a healthier, more connected city.\u201d<\/p>\n
