For the third year running, Bend’s Old Mill District and Commute Options will kick off Commute Options Week with the Little Commuters Parade. The fun begins at 8:30 a.m. today with vehicle (bike, skateboard, scooter, etc.) decorating at the footbridge near the shops, followed by a 9:45 a.m. parade.
The event uses fun activities to promote helmet safety and educate young people about reducing pollution by choosing to walk or bike. The parade will wind over the footbridge, through the shops and circle back along the river trail.
In its 22nd year, Commute Options Week is being held June 16-23.
