Once you discover the freedom, convenience, and fitness benefits of biking to any destination, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start riding sooner. There are annual and seasonal events and activities for enthusiasts to take advantage of. Check out the Bicycling and Walking page for more info. As events are planned, they'll be added here, too.
