Ready your bike bells and dust off those helmets, because Aquila Park is the starting point for a pedals-and-family-friendly event that's about to take St. Louis Park streets by storm – figuratively speaking, that is. The Wheelie Fun Community Bike Ride is slated for May 16, marking its third installment in celebrating Bike Month. For those looking to join, this all-inclusive ride is open to bikers of all ages and skill levels, kicking off at 4 pm sharp.
According to the bulletin released by the City of St. Louis Park, riders will depart from Aquila Park playground, tracing a 1.8-mile path to Dakota Park via the scenic Cedar Lake Trail. It's a safe bet for both newbies who are strapping on their helmets for the first time and seasoned cyclers shaking off the winter cobwebs. Not to mention, with a full accompaniment from the St. Louis Park Bike Patrol, safety will literally be rolling alongside every participant.
The end of the trail isn't just the finish line – it's a summer celebration. said the City's announcement, a fire truck will meet the bikers at Dakota Park, but not to douse anyone's spirits. Instead, it'll be there as part of the fun, and summer treats will be provided to all participants to sweeten the deal.
