Manhattan bikers gathered together at City Hall to start a progressive dinner ride from Radina's for appetizers, Bluestem Bistro for main courses, and Varsity Donuts for rootbeer floats July 1. Mayor Jim Sherow talked about the two new bike laws to affect Manhattan cyclists. The first requires a three foot passing area between road riding bicyclists and other vehicles. The second allows cyclists to pass through a red light that doesn't sense them after a reasonable amount of time has passed, without recieving a ticket. Sherow lead the group of cyclists from City Hall to the downtown Radina's with the help of two Riley County Police Department escorts.
