Saturday Afternoon Community Bike Ride

Come join us for a laid-back group ride through portions of Park Ridge, in this Community Bike Ride around our city & surrounding areas!

Event is open to all, our goal is simply to promote biking in town by bring interested folks together for social rides in which we can get to know some neighbors and share info on a wide range of topics like bike safety, buying equipment, and what you do/do not like about local bike infrastructure (how to make Park Ridge bike-friendly!).

Any level of rider is welcome, we only ask you bring a reliable bike, and be capable of a moderate riding pace (est 9-10mph for folks who count such things) for a moderate distance (est 7.5-8 mi). We ride as a group and do not leave folks behind. We may or may not show you a few things you have not seen before, but we will have fun riding, and often have light refreshments after. [Advanced riders may also want to seek out our friends at www.parkridgecycling.org for additional rides which are longer & faster and also have great ride leaders!]

Other boiler-plate info:
(1) Bring a HELMET please. (2) Carry photo ID & phone for emergencies. (3) No earbuds/earphones, portable speakers only at low volume. (4) Plan ahead & bring anything else you may need like spare tire/pump, water bottle, rain poncho or sunscreen. (5) This is a day ride but daytime running lights are always advisable, as is bright clothing.

NOTE: All riders participate at their own risk. Neither ride organizers nor Meetup.com are responsible for your safety or well-being.
