Healthy and happy families ride bikes

SFBC's 3nd Annual Family Day

Sunday, October 11, 2009 11-3pm, Doughboy Meadow, Golden Gate Park, Free!

Join the SFBC, and SFBC families like yours, as we enjoy a car-free Sunday in the park with fun bike-y family activities, including the SFBC's monthly Freedom From Training Wheels group effort to get our kids riding on two-wheels, a Bike Road-eo course that teaches two-wheelers with and without training wheels basic bike skills. Show-off your baby bike seats, trail-a-bikes, bike trailers and Xtracyles (or however your family gears up), and get advice at our Family Biking Showcase

Keep up-to-date on the next Family Biking event. Contact Kate to be put on our email list about upcoming family-friendly bike events.
