The free event is suitable for all ages and skill levels. Prior to the ride, attendees can decorate their bikes with flowers provided by the organizers. Following the event, participants can enjoy tacos and refreshments.
“It’s great for anyone because it’s a short distance and a slow ride, not a race,” said Laurie Crawford, vice president of the Lebanon Valley Bicycle Coalition, in a press release.
