Where are you cycling in May?

From the people you meet to the places you discover, bikes connect us.

ICYMI, May is National Bike Month . Established in 1956 by the League of American Bicyclists, National Bike Month is a great chance to get back on your bike and experience the joy of cycling.

But why cycle alone? Take the opportunity to experience bikes in our community, whether you’re:

  • On a group ride
  • Leading your kids’ biking school bus
  • Or simply waving to your neighbors as you roll by

Explore the Mid-America Regional Council’s Bike Month page for local resources, such as the Regional Trails & Bikeways Map , to use this month — and beyond. Want to join a ride? Bookmark the Bike Month calendar , which features events like the Bikes Connect Us community ride happening at 10 a.m., Saturday, May 25, at Concourse Park (200 Benton Blvd.).

Have a spoke-tacular time, KC .
