Friday Morning Women’s Ride runs May thru October and starts at Texas Drive Park. There are two ride groups, and both are no-drop. One group rides around 25 miles (give or take a few) on mixed terrain roads in Kalamazoo and Van Buren counties and averages 15-16 mph. The second ride group is designed for more leisurely-paced riders and decides the distance and route depending on who shows up. We strive for a 12-14 mph pace, but this ride can accommodate a slower pace.
Kalamazoo Area Bike Week celebrates the many benefits and joys of bicycling in our greater community. It starts on the Saturday before Mothers Day and runs through the following Saturday. In 2024, Bike Week will run May 11-18. Plus, May is National Bike Month, and includes Bike to Work Week and Bike to Work Day! Organizing Bike Week ramps up in January.
Bike Week underscoreS the role bicycling plays in building economically strong AND Physically & MENTALLY HEALTHY communities. Its value IS greater than any one event. OUR message for bicyclists and motorists alike is to ENJOY Life by practicing the golden rule WHILE following the rules of the road. We’RE in this together.
