Description

Join a Naturalist to explore green spaces in Minneapolis along our many bike trails! This program will provide the opportunity to develop overall bicycling skills, explore the local trail systems, hands-on learning experiences, and education on how to explore the green spaces in Minneapolis. Our bike-based programs promote skill development, exploration, physical wellness, personal responsibility, and confidence with biking in the city. Our trained staff will include activities such as nature exploration, developing safe riding habits, and learning about biking as a form of travel. Participants can bring their own equipment or bicycles and helmets are available to borrow from MPRB.
