Riders can get fitted for bike safety helmets at the farmers' market.
HOLYOKE -- Bicyclists can bring their bikes to the farmers' market on High Street in front of City Hall Thursday for a free tire check as part of Bike Safety Day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Representatives of Holyoke Urban Bike Shop ("Pedaling for a healthier community!") will be there to answer questions, run bicyclists through a safety obstacle course and fit riders with helmets, said a press release from the office of Mayor Alex B. Morse.
"In addition to fruits, vegetables and plants from the market vendors, there will be an opportunity for visitors to get their bike ready for the upcoming spring and summer seasons," the press release said.
