The Woodlands Township celebrates National Bike Month this May
Celebrate biking in The Woodlands throughout the month of May with a variety of events, and bring the whole family for a day of fun at Bike The Woodlands Day!
May is National Bike Month, and The Woodlands Township will team up with Bike The Woodlands Coalition to celebrate with a wide variety of events throughout the month.
Some of the events bicyclists can enjoy in May include TXTRI Village Rides, a National Ride of Silence Day ride, a self-guided Bike to Work Day, a sprayground cycle tour, bicycle-related workshops, nature ride, moonlight ride and more.
Earlier this year, the League of American Bicyclists honored the efforts of The Woodlands Township with a Silver-level Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) award, making The Woodlands the highest ranked bicycle friendly community in Texas. The award recognizes the Township for its commitment to creating transportation and recreational resources that benefit its residents of all ages and abilities while encouraging healthier and more sustainable transportation choices.
Bike The Woodlands Day is Saturday, May 17, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Recreation Center at Rob Fleming Park, located at 6464 Creekside Forest Drive, 77389. Meet local bike experts and enthusiasts, whether your passion is mountain biking, triathlon bikes, hybrids or cruisers. Winners of the Bike The Woodlands Ride Challenge will be awarded at the event, as well as the winners of Bike The Woodlands Coalition’s first-event scholarship competition.
The first 150 bikers to arrive will receive a free snow cone, courtesy of Kona Ice North Houston. The event will include a 5.7-mile pathway ride for riders of all ages, an adult ride of 15 miles through the Village of Creekside Park for more experienced riders and a moderate trail ride through the George Mitchell Nature Preserve located adjacent to the Rec Center.
Bike The Woodlands Bike Month is produced by The Woodlands Township, with support from Bike The Woodlands Coalition, and sponsored by Bikeland of The Woodlands, Huntsman and TXTRI.
