Pedal the Park with Friends of Shelby + PEDAL AFTER DARK – October 23, 2023
October 23, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Special after ride destination!
Tonight’s ride will have an after-ride option of rolling from the park up to Five Points in East Nashville for a slice of pizza! Bring lights and other preferred visibility devices (banana suit, tutu) if you’d like to join us! We will be riding ON THE STREETS and AT NIGHT – if you’ve never done either, come get a feel for what it’s like with this group of awesome bike riders.
Bring $ to cover your pizza slice and other purchases (if you don’t have the budget for it, we can help you out – just be in touch).
Ride series ends this month – we’ll have a special multigenerational/family ride in November!
Roll with us in the park
Take a ride in the park with Friends of Shelby and Bike Fun! Twice a month, we’ll cruise along the Shelby Bottoms Greenway starting from the Shelby Bottoms Nature Center Trailhead for a casual, no-drop ride, lasting about an hour. Free, social bike ride for ages 10+.
This ride supports new and returning bicycle riders for ages 10 and up who want to learn more about bicycle riding in a no-pressure, encouraging environment. We will learn more about
- the hows and whys of greenway riding
- basic bicycle maintenance
- features of Shelby Park and Bottoms
- the work Friends of Shelby Park does to support the park.
