Pedal Power

Bicycling is one of many wonderful ways for youth to experience an empowering sense of freedom while gaining great exercise. However, it is not without its risks. Iowa City Parks and Recreation will be hosting a bicycle skills and family fun event designed to teach bicyclists the skills they need in order to be safe and courteous riders on community roads and trails. Learning bike handling and traffic skills can help riders enjoy bicycling more and reduce the chance for injury. Other activities include bicycle decorating, scavenger hunt and a strider bike race.
