Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why a bike festival?
A: There is no doubt our kids can accomplish anything! The bike festival is an effort to empower kids to make a difference in helping other kids and the environment. The Bike Parade gives families something they can do together that is affordable! Organizations and vendors will have tents to visit after you ride.

Q: Is there a cost to participate?
A: Yes, there is a registration fee of $5 to help keep the event safe for all the participants.

Q: How will the funds raised be used?
A: All participants are encouraged to seek donors/ sponsors to help other kids in the community and globally. Dollars raised will help feed hungry kids through local food pantries VEAP, Second Harvest, and fight hunger globally through Feed My Starving Children.

Q: Will we attempt to break a world record?
A: Not this year. Last year we fell short of the 2152 riders and wanted to offer a community family event this year. Get your friends signed up to fight hunger!

Q: Who can ride?                                                    A: The whole family! We welcome handicapped riders as well. See the Event tab for more information.

Q: Can children ride?
A: Yes, we hope everyone who is able will ride. Bikes with training wheels and bikes with trailers and burleys will be allowed this year. The festival route will take us around Lake Cornelia. There will be limited parking at Rosland Park (the community pool lots) at 66th street and Valley View just west of France Ave. If possible ride your bikes rather than drive as parking will be tight.
