Join Freshbikes in Ballston every Tuesday evening at 6:30pm throughout the summer for a small ride with 300 of your closest friends....yep that's right upwards of 300 cyclists!! The Tuesday night ride is a HUGE hit, and a great way to meet like-minded people and get in shape. The ride is a no-drop ride, so all abilities are welcome!!
Come join the Freshbikes crew for your favorite loop through Arlington and the surrounding areas. The ride rolls out from Mosaic Park which is adjacent to the store. But be sure to get there early as parking is limited, or better yet, just ride your bike on over.
