Earth Day Festival
Way to Go Durham's Sustainable Transportation Expo
New to the Earth Day Festival this year is the sustainable transportation expo brought to you by the City’s Department of Transportation and Bike Durham! Come out to see GoDurham’s new electric bus and learn how to maneuver a bike on and off the bus’s bike rack! You can also take a test ride on an electric-assist bike or scooter! Our booths will also feature a traffic garden, a miniature world of streets for children to teach them about road safety and interactions. Be sure to visit our booths to learn more about sustainable modes of transportation and project updates to prepare you for your commutes across the Bull City.
Valet Bicycle Parking and Check-Ups
Members of Durham’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission and Bike Durham will host a valet bicycle parking service. Located near the corner of Foster and Hunt streets – it’s like a coat check for bicycles. Cyclists are issued tickets in exchange for their bikes, and volunteers store them in a secure enclosure for free. Bike mechanics will also be on site to check your bike for safety and teach how to change a flat tire.
Other Activities
Other activities during the Expo will include test rides of e-bikes from eBike Central and test rides of e-scooters from Helbiz. You can also check out GoDurham's newest electric bus and get information about the City's projects to improve safety for walking, biking, and using transit.
Come visit Bike Durham and friends at our booth and bring the kids for a bike demo in the Traffic Garden!
