Rum River Bicycle Classic
A Good Idea
Description
The Rum River Bicycle Classic is one part of an overall program promoting a way of life that integrates physical activity into each day. Some of the program's key activities include implementing safe routes to school, creating biking and walking maps throughout the community, and planning and promoting programs and events. The Bicycle Classic raises money for these activities and emphasizes the "bikeability" of the area.
