The Commuter Challenge also coincides with Cycle Kingston’s , which encourages more community members to ride their bikes. As a part of Cycling Week, Queen's is hosting its annual Roll-in Breakfast on Tuesday June 6 from 7-9:30 a.m. on the southeast corner of University and Union (in front of Douglas Library). The Roll-in Breakfast provides participants with free breakfast as an incentive to cycle to work and join the Commuter Challenge.
