Cyclovia comes to Temple Terrace

Sierra will be joining the Cyclovia event in Temple Terrace this Sunday.  We will set up a demonstration barrier bike lane to show how it vastly enhances bicycle safety.  And we'll have several electric vehicles on display, too!  56th Street will be closed north of Busch Blvd to Whiteway from 9 AM to 2 PM  to create  a safe, fun thoroughfare where people can walk, run, bike, skate, scoot, play and just enjoy the city in a whole new way.

Bring the kids and join us for the first ever Cyclovia Temple Terrace!
