"Bicycles are the perfect tool to explore a city: They are fast enough that you can cover some ground, slow enough that you can really see things, nimble enough that you can stop at a moment's notice, and open not just to sights, but to scents, sounds, tastes, and tactile and kinetic elements too. So there's no better way to experience the history of the city in its landscape than a tour by bike," said Kate Brady, Senior Bicycle Planner for the City of Colorado Springs.
This event will replace the annual Bike to Work Day event held every June.

Where: The ride starts and ends at America the Beautiful Park, located at 126 Cimino Drive.
Route: The ride is a six-mile round trip along the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail at a very relaxed pace with minimal street crossings. The group will enjoy popsicles at the halfway point at what has affectionately become known as the PopCycle Bridge (on the Pikes Peak Greenway at Van Buren Street).
