May is National Bike Month! Join us to celebrate and raise awareness for all things bike-related by partaking in our annual Green Drinks bike hop on Wednesday, May 28. 

As a group, we'll bike to some of our favorite Columbus watering holes where we'll toast to bicycle awareness and learn more about bike commuting in our fair city. 

Our schedule is as follows, feel free to join us (with or without your bike) at any stop on the route: 

6:00-6:45pm - We'll kick things off at Strongwater Food and Spirits (401 W. Town Street) with happy hour drink prices as well as a special green-themed cocktail.

7:00-7:45pm - Next up is Brothers Drake Meadery (26 E. Fifth Avenue) to enjoy a glass of mead (or another drink) and participate in a conversation about bike commuting facilitated by Green Columbus founder and active bike commuter, Tad Dritz.

8:00-8:45pm - We'll end the night at The Crest Gastropub(2855 Indianola Avenue) to enjoy one last drink, or a meal, as a group. The Crest is offering us special food and drinks discounts for the evening.
