Thirty Days of Biking
Thirty Days of Biking is a pledge to ride your bike every day in April and share your adventures online with the hashtag #30daysofbiking. There’s no minimum distance — down a hill and around your garage count just like a 20-mile commute or a 350-mile charity ride.
The League of American Cyclists is promoting May as Bicycle Month. This National Bike Month will necessarily be different. With less focus on biking to work, we're going to focus on riding "there" whether "there" is to the grocer for essentials or to the creek and back with the kids. Part of making progress on the League's vision is encouraging everyone to think beyond biking to work and move towards a holistic approach to integrating bicycling into as many aspects of our daily lives as possible.

Pedaling Ninjas* Social Ride
When: each Thursday at 6pm
Where: Harmony Natural Foods Co-op
302 Irvine Ave NW
Bemidji
Pedaling Ninjas gather for a casual bike ride each Thursday evenings @ 6pm. We ride bikes for about 5-10 miles each time at an easy pace. We meet to enjoy the weather, trails, and each others' company. We love new people, so even if you haven't biked for a while, join us for a ride!
Our group likes to be social after the bike ride, and we usually patronize local businesses. The first Thursday of each month is a discounted pint at Bemidji Brewing for Ninjas, and each third Thursday is an ice cream discount at Big River Scoop. For more info on a particular Thursday ride, go to the Pedaling Ninjas facebook page.
*Please note: You do not need to be a ninja to join. If you're interested in riding bikes and enjoying Bemidji, this is your group!
