Thanks to several donations for local residents and businesses, Newport is becoming a more bikeable city,

The Bike Newport team spearheaded the initiative to increase places to park bicycles, as well as to encourage the community to travel on two wheels instead of four.

The Bike Newport Committee lead other bikers on a tour of the bike rack sites for their individual ribbon cuttings.
