Group Rides and Walks
This summer, the Midtown Greenway Coalition launched its Green Way to Go Biking Program. You can see groups of youth and others riding down the Greenway. The youth are from local youth serving organizations. If you are aware of a youth group along the Greenway, especially near the new Freewheel Midtown Bike Center, that serves primarily low income young people who would not otherwise have the chance to bike the Greenway, please refer us to them.
It is our hope that engaging youth in the Greenway will help foster more community pride in south Minneapolis and provide them with the tools and knowledge to live an active and healthy lifestyle. The Green Way to Go program is made possible with funds from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.
OTHER INFORMAL RIDES AND WALKS: The Coalition is also thinking about organizing informal group rides or walks from the new Freewheel Midtown Bike Center. Particpants would meet weekly at designated times and travel together on a route of their choosing. These rides would be open to riders of all types and allow Greenway users to meet and connect with other riders. If you are interested in something like this or would like to organize a more focused ride, please contact Nate at Nate<at>midtowngreenway.org.
