The East Side Open Market makes it even easier for buyers to go green this week. Beyond the loads of fresh, local produce, handmade goods and bakery, tomorrow is "Bike to the Market" day.

The East Side Open Market is held every Thursday in the Beans and Barley parking lot, just east of Milwaukee's Oak Leaf Bike Trail, making it the perfect stop on a summer city bike ride.

In theme with "Bike to the Market" day, Cory the Bike Fixer will be on hand to offer free bike safety checks for riders. In addition, instrumental band Trio du Monde will perform at 5 p.m. and Murray Hill Pottery will demonstrate the ancient art of Raku.

The East Side Open Market is held every Thursday from 3 to 7 p.m. and each weekly market is themed with educational and recreational features of the city.
