Bike Trek the Trails<\/strong>
\nTuesday Bike Rides Path to New Community Tradition

<\/p>\n

(May 28, 2010) – In what’s sure to become a popular community event Fort Wayne will bring the community together in a series of 13 bike rides on the trail network. The rides will be guided by someone knowledgeable about the area and the history of the area.<\/p>\n

“Fort Wayne has one of the finest trail systems in the Midwest with over 50 miles of trails winding through urban and rural areas around the City. This summer residents will have a unique opportunity to meet other trail users, see some new trails and get some exercise”, said Mayor Tom Henry.<\/p>\n

Beginning Tuesday June 1 at 6:00pm, cyclists will have an opportunity to join other trail users on a community bike ride every Tuesday of the summer. The 13 bike rides will take bicyclists through all parts of the community – along the Rivergreenway, the Wabash & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, the Aboite Trails, the Pufferbelly Rail-to-Trail and the Salomon Farm Trail.<\/p>\n

It’s a great opportunity to see Fort Wayne in a way you haven’t seen it before. Bike rides are a great family activity, a great way to spend time with friends and a fun way to socialize with new friends.<\/p>\n

Each trail ride is about 6-8 miles long. Helmets are a requirement for participants. If there is unsafe weather such as lightening, the ride will be cancelled.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of the trail rides. All rides begin at 6:00pm.<\/p>\n
