Pedal Power in Motion as Bike Month begins in Carson City
Thirty local bike enthusiasts ride through downtown Carson City on Tuesday, May 2 as part of the annual Celebrity Ride during Bike Month.
Activities are planned throughout the month, including the West Side Cruiser Ride meeting 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Brewery Arts Center.
One of the most popular rides is the Tour of Carson City, which will be 9 a.m. Sunday May 7. Typically, the ride, organized by Bike Habitat owner Denis Coyne, kicks off at his shop. However, it has outgrown that venue and will begin and end this year at Fuji Park. It is moderately paced, 27- to 30-mile ride around the circumference of the city.
Other featured rides include a moonlight ride, sponsored by the Bike Smith, 7:30 p.m. May 10 starting at Foothill Drive. Every Tuesday during the month and continuing throughout the summer, a women’s bike ride will begin 5:30 p.m. on Foothill Drive. The Ride of Silence will be May 17 to honor cyclists killed while sharing the road.
