The ride is intended to encourage families and city dwellers to take

brunch, but why not start out the Mother's Day experience with a refreshing
bicycle ride around the City of St. Louis?

Helmets First will offer helmet fitting and free or deeply discounted
helmets for kids. The St. Louis Regional Bicycle Federation will offer maps
and informative literature on bike commuting and safety. St. Louis Bicycle
WORKS will offer mechanical safety checks and minor repairs on site and

mom and enjoy the scenery of St. Louis.

Proceeds from the ride will support the projects and programs of the St.

region more friendly, safe, and accessible to people on bicycles through
educational outreach, advocacy, and improved facilities.
