My name is Ryan Rigo. Very few places have changed my life as much as this trail has. I’m from Chicago, a city I love, but a city that is very tough to live in health wise. This trail has given me countless hours of sunlight, meditation, and exercise. I find my most peaceful and happy moments on this trail and I couldn’t be more grateful to love so close. I truly don’t know where I would be mentally right now without it. Thank you all so much that have made this possible.
Kids on Bikes in Parks is a free cycling event presented by Violet Crown, The LeadOut Foundation, and The Trail Conservancy. We have a closed course of 1000 ft of grassy parkland for children ages 5-15 to ride their bikes on. We will have open track time with experienced cyclists present to teach lessons and at the top of every hour, we will have timed laps for kids to test themselves and track their progress.
