Cannondale is loaning bicycles so people may get out and get some fresh air.

The premier bicycle maker, with headquarters in Wilton, is offering bikes to people who need them. The “Borrow A Bike” program allows members of the local community to borrow a bike from Cannondale to get some fresh air. The program will connect riders with a Cannondale team member who will help them find a bike and schedule a personal pick up time.
There are around 30 bikes left for both adults and children that will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Each reservation allows the borrower to keep the bicycle until April 30. Beyond the streets and sidewalks, there are many trails in town where people may ride a bike, including the Norwalk River Valley Trail.
To participate, interested people may message Cannondale Bikes on its Facebook Page mentioning the Borrow a Bike program, and Cannondale will then coordinate directly on when they can pick up their bicycle.
Bicycles may be picked up from Cannondale headquarters at 1 Cannondale Way in South Wilton.
