Quad-Cities residents are breaking out their two-wheelers this week to commute to their place of employment for National Bike to Work Week.

The Quad Cities Bicycle Club has organized five days of breakfasts in Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline and Rock Island this week for commuting cyclists.

Kathy Ramp sets out food at a breakfast held by the Quad Cities Bicycle Club for Bike to Work Week at Government Bridge on Tuesday, May 13, in Davenport. A free breakfast is offered every day of the week to promote health, environmental impact and camaraderie within the biking community.

Also, public transportation networks Bettendorf Transit, Davenport Citibus and MetroLINK are offering free bus transit for bikers this week.
