Are you looking for a family-friendly outing that explores the northwest suburbs, the Brooklyns of the Twin Cities? Enjoy the inaugural Pedal Jam Bike Ride on trails in Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park. In conjunction with the Brooklyn Center Health Fair and the Brooklyn Park IgboFest cultural festival, the ride will take place on August 12, 2023.
About the Pedal Jam
The ride sets the stage for the family to enjoy a bike adventure together, traveling 6.5 miles and showcasing the two cities’ businesses, parks, and residential areas. The ride starts at Centennial Park, 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy, in Brooklyn Center, and ends at the Brooklyn Park Community Center, 8500 W Broadway Ave, in Brooklyn Park.
The event begins at 2 p.m. But come early to check in, collect your number, visit the food trucks, and enjoy the Brooklyn Center Health Fair before the ride starts. From Noon to the start of the Pedal Jam, you can even get your bike tuned up for free. Riders are encouraged to make stops for fun activities and treats on the route. Then, at the end, at Brooklyn Park Plaza, celebrate with chalk art, popsicles, music, giveaways, and the grand prize drawing for a new e-bike!
After the ride, visit Igbofest at North Hennepin Community College. Enjoy ethnic food, music, and performances until 6 p.m. Prize announcements for the e-bike at the Pedal Jam will be at 4 p.m. You must be present to win.
