In partnership with Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District, the City of St. Louis Park is promoting bicycling during May. On May 1, the St. Louis Park City Council declared May as Bike Month.

Throughout the entire month, businesses, community groups and individuals are encouraged to host and participate in events and activities focusing on encouraging newer riders to try biking.

Planned activities by the city include:

• Bike to Work Week is May 16 – 20.
  • The city will have a commuter “pit stop” to encourage and promote bicycling to work on Bike to Work Day, Friday, May 19, from 6:30 – 9 a.m. The rest stop will be located at Aquila Park at the North Cedar Lake Regional Trail near Minnetonka Boulevard.

This event is intended to showcase the many benefits of bicycling in, around and through St. Louis Park.

In addition to the event in St. Louis Park, Move Minneapolis is sponsoring “pit stops” at various locations within Minneapolis from 7 – 10 a.m. and a community event and group ride at the Hennepin County Government Center from 3 – 5 p.m. Visit the Move Minneapolis website for more information.
