Plant City residents once again gathered bright and early to bike with their mayor.
Members of the community gather before sunrise to promote bike safety and bond with their mayor and city commissioners and honor Florida Bike Month. The 2024 Bike with the Mayor event was held at Gilchrist Park at 7 a.m. Friday morning.
Escorted by the Plant City Police Department, the group rode 3.75 miles through the city on a variety of bike styles. Along the way, riders chatted with Mayor Nate Kilton and others.
Upon arriving, attendees signed in picked up their t-shirts and goodies, and mingled with their fellow community members. This is an important community event that showed both residents and many of the corresponding agencies that Plant City supports biking.
