NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (WWLP) – Cyclists across the country are celebrating National Bike Week, and the city of Northampton held their annual Bike Breakfast Wednesday morning.

The annual Northampton Bike Breakfast falls in the middle of a week focused on promoting bicycling as an environmentally friendly mode of transportation. In its 26th year, the Bike Breakfast is the oldest bike commuter breakfast in Massachusetts. But, it's just one of several events this week highlighting the sport's public health benefits and growing community.
The rest of the week brings group bike rides, bike fix-it clinics, and downtown businesses are offering discounts to people who come in with helmets, all with the goal of getting people out of their cars and on the trails.
'There are a lot of ways that cycling can be incorporated into a lot of communities here. And I think it's great to see so much enthusiasm for the sport, which I think is so inclusive to all different kinds of people and levels of riding,' said Amanda Stenroose of the Northampton Cycling Club.
The city of Northampton has over 30 miles of shared bike trails that are easily accessible to about 70 percent of Northampton's residents. All reasons that cyclists say Northampton has embraced the bicycling movement and is working to spread their message to other communities across western Massachusetts.
