BIKE RIDE FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY

The starting location this past Tuesday for the community bike ride on the Rivergreenway – St. Joe Pathway – was moved to Johnny Appleseed Park near the dam by Coliseum Boulevard. The 7-mile bike trek began at 6:00 PM Tuesday, July 13, 2010.

This summer’s bike rides are proving popular with residents. One recent ride had more than 80 participants. Each ride is free and covers a distance of about 6-8 miles. The tours are guided by a person knowledgeable about the trail. Helmets are a requirement for participants.
