Pedal the Park with Friends of Shelby – September 25, 2023
September 25 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Take a ride in the park with Friends of Shelby and Bike Fun! Twice a month, we’ll cruise along the Shelby Bottoms Greenway starting from the Shelby Bottoms Nature Center Trailhead for a casual, no-drop ride, lasting about an hour. Free, social bike ride for ages 10+.
This ride supports new and returning bicycle riders for ages 10 and up who want to learn more about bicycle riding in a no-pressure, encouraging environment. We will learn more about
- the hows and whys of greenway riding
- basic bicycle maintenance
- features of Shelby Park and Bottoms
- the work Friends of Shelby Park does to support the park.
Ride schedule & details
Meet up starting at 5pm for a bike inspection and hang out. We’ll provide a safety overview and check everyone’s tires. We will roll out at 5:30pm.
Has it been a while since you last biked? Want to join but haven’t got your own bike? A limited number of bikes are available for us to bring – drop us a line at least 48 hours in advance so we can bring a bike that fits your needs. Bikes are FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED.
