That’s what makes a musical like The Hatpin, premiering this month at Spectrum Theater, so fascinating.

Posted on by

This morning, GRCC hosted a “pit stop” to celebrate National Bike to Work Day. Bike to Work Day is held in May every year and promotes riding your bicycle as an option for commuting to work.

Mayor George Hartwell stopped by for some coffee and refreshments before hopping on his bike and heading to the office.

If you are considering commuting on a bicycle this summer, there are a number of resources available to you and a great one to start is the Greater Grand Rapids Bicycle Coalition. http://www.bikegrandrapids.org/
