“We’re thrilled to be offering this opportunity for the community to learn how to ride a bike and get active in a fun and safe environment,” said Adam Martell, Willamalane recreation supervisor. “Cycling is not only a fun form of exercise, but it’s also a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and explore the community in a new way.”
