'Let's Take a Ride/Walk'

“Let’s Take a Ride/Walk” Offers Free lunch to Kent State Faculty, Staff and Students

Kent State University faculty, staff members and students are invited to walk or ride a bike along the Kent State University Esplanade to downtown Kent restaurant Laziza during the second annual “Let’s Take a Ride/Walk” event on Thursday, Sept. 20 from 11:30 a.m. Free lunch will be served to all participants at Laziza and valuable coupons for Main Street merchants will be available.


The event offers the opportunity for participants to hear about new shops coming to Acorn Alley II in downtown Kent, and learn about biking tips provided by the Portage Cyclery.


The registration table is located outside near the Student center on the "K" in Risman Plaza, which also is the takeoff point for the walk and bike ride. Participants can choose to ride their own bikes or get a free rental from FlashFleet at the Kent Student Center.
