POPSICLE the Park with Friends of Shelby – July 14, 2024

July 14 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

This is a SPECIAL EVENT to encourage multigenerational bike riding, get to meet other bike riders in the area, and enjoy deliciously cold popsicle treats. (Tell us if you’re coming, what contests you want at our survey here.) All wheels welcomed!

Ride schedule & details

Meet up starting at 4pm for a bike inspection and hang out. We’ll provide a safety overview and check everyone’s tires. We will roll out at 4:30pm.

THIS EDITION OF THE PEDAL THE PARK RIDE WILL BEGIN AT CORNELIA FORT AIRPARK ON SHADOW LANE.

We will roll as a large all-ages group, then adults/older youth riders will split off for a guided ride on the back end of the greenway, & younger riders will meet at the airpark entrance for games & more!

Has it been a while since you last biked? Want to join but haven’t got your own bike? A limited number of bikes are available for us to bring – drop us a line at least 48 hours in advance so we can bring a bike that fits your needs. We can also help with kids bikes for this ride. Bikes are FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. Call or text Bike Fun at 615-763-3788 or email kj@nashvillebikefun.org no later than Friday, July 12th 

Rides are weather pending. We will cancel rides in case of heavy rain, lightning, or extreme heat (heat index of 95 or higher). Updates will be posted here & will be sent to our email list (survey above provides options to sign up). 

Ride requirements & requests

If you feel sick, stay home!

We ride as a group to support new and returning bicycle riders – no rider left behind. If you are a more experienced bike rider, you are welcome to come and help other riders build their riding confidence and skills!

Adhere to all greenway trail etiquette (ride on right, signal when passing, stay under 15MPH, slow down around walkers).

There is no charge for this ride, but donations to Bike Fun or Friends of Shelby are gratefully accepted.

Outdoor events are weather pending – for events requiring registration, participants will be notified about cancellations via text or email. For non-registration events, please contact us or keep an eye on our social media platforms for up-to-date information.
