Tomorrow, Saturday, May 27th marks the 2006 Arlington Community Bike Ride held by the Arlington County government’s Bike Arlington initiative.

The Community Bike Ride is a family-friendly opportunity to enjoy Arlington’s excellent network of bike trails. Two routes are available for participants: A 17-Mile Country Tour, and a 9-Mile Family Ride. Registration is free for Children under 13, $15 for adults ($20 day of event), and discounted membership in Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) is available with registration.

The event starts and ends in Shirlington, and check-in for riders is from 7AM to 8:30AM tomorrow. The Country Tour kicks off at 8AM, the Family Ride at 8:30AM

If you have children they will love this event. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy fresh air with your children, learn bike safety, and teach by example the importance of exercise. Rentals are available for those without bikes.
