Birthday Bicycle Parade!

By: Dave OlsenEveryone loves a parade and I'm guessing my tandem riding daughter will be thrilled to lead a Bicycle Parade on her 6th Birthday! We'll gather under cover at the SW corner of 3rd & Commercial and ride slowly and safely to Trout Lake, ringing bells and tooting our own horns! If you'd like to stay beyond the parade (weather permitting) bring something healthy for a potluck picnic in the park (NO gifts please). We'll bring the vegan Birthday cake! If the weather doesn't seem picnic-y, then we'll just continue the parade back to 3rd and Commercial.
