Bike Anchorage is excited to initiate Community Rides this Summer! Join us every other Wednesday from May 20 to September 9 for FREE rides led by volunteers are designed to build community amongst our neighbors--all by bike!

The aim of these Community Rides is three-fold:

1. Sharing low-traffic, cut-through and shortcut routes to travel through various areas of the municipality to help us all feel more comfortable and confident bicycle commuting through town.

2. Learning about a particular aspect of our home city through unique cycling themes. Topics currently include parks, bike shops, architecture, gardens, artisan food, and raspberries!

3. Connecting community through new friendships and shared riding experiences.

Contact Sage if you have a suggestion for a ride or would like to volunteer to lead one. Riders are expected to have their own, working bicycles and to wear helmets and other safety gear.  The pace will be gentle, 10 miles an hour with stops for discussion and re-grouping.

Our Kick-off Ride will begin on Bike to Work Day at Woodside Park. If you join us at the morning's Bacon Station, you'll have a free drink ticket to Midnight Sun Brewing Company, so that'll be our destination for the evening! 

• 5:00pm Meet at Woodside Park on the Chester Creek Trail
  • We'll talk with artists doing the project "Seeking the Source" along the creek
• 5:45pm Ride to the Midnight Sun Brewing Company!
