What’s better than kicking off a hot summer Saturday, than a bicycle ride with Family & Friends through portions of historic downtown Concord along shaded paved trails. Better yet, it’s only 4 miles in length, with a most rewarding ICE CREAM STOP mid-way! Interested, meet us in the lower parking lot at Les Myers Community Park, from there we’ll roll deep to earn those calories. No one says ICE CREAM can’t be had as lunch or before…especially from Cabarrus Creamery! Heck, there’s Red Hill Brewery just above it for those lactose intolerant folk or adults needing their version of a cool & refreshing reward.

**Kids can be in tow &/or in a pack, but suggested IF THEIR PEDDLING that they will be able to maintain a slow group pace, stop safely and peddle efficiently involving the various city oriented distractions/environment.**

It’s never too early (or too late!) learn to ride a two-wheeler! Kids of all ages and grown-ups, too, can Learn to Ride a bike using the tried-and-true “balance bike” method. It’s easy, it’s fun, and it’s a skill that will last a lifetime! Join the fun, and this FREE opportunity to Learn to Ride! Learn to Ride is a not-for-profit, 100% volunteer series of events to grow Charlotte’s cycling community one new cyclist at a time. Learn to Ride is made possible in partnership with Bicycle Sport and Trips for Kids Charlotte, with support from Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation, Mecklenburg County Public Health, and well-run media + marketing.

***Event disclaimer; NOT our event, but it’s for a good cause! One day we’ll have something as rad as this with some great support. Meanwhile, we enjoy sharing all the great opportunities out there for YOU!***

Located just 20 miles north of Charlotte, Davidson is a charming college town known throughout the Southeast as a pedestrian, pet and bicycle friendly community. Be sure to enjoy Davidson’s many quaint shops, restaurants, green-ways, bike lanes, and parks in town or one of the 18 breweries, beer and wine shops in the surrounding Lake Norman area. The Village Green will host all event activities and is situated on Main Street in the heart of downtown Davidson across from Davidson College.

The riders are welcomed back into town by the Mayor of Davidson himself playing live music, followed by the RC Oakes Band sponsored by Bike Law. Sit back, relax, enjoy the light food, music, and a post ride beer from Primal Brewery. Post ride raffle prizes from local Lake Norman Businesses will be posted on the announcement board.

Coming back for round four with our program at the annual Tour De Turns benefiting the Charlotte Loaves & Fishes.
