Grab your bikes and scooters for a day of family fun at the Kids Bike Fest in Melrose on Saturday, June 8! The goal is to inspire families to bike and scoot more - #morekidsonbikes!
This event, put on by The Ride Cafe, gives kids the opportunity to explore their community on two wheels and participate in family-friendly, non-competitive riding. There will be bikes, scooters, obstacle courses, and more - all helping build riding and safety skills while having fun.
What to Expect:
Kids of all ages — regardless of their size and ability — are encouraged to join in. There will be an optional obstacle course, including noodle tunnel and ramps, with parents cheering along the route.
- Balance Bike & Scooter Event - Short ride on the Melrose High School (H.S.) Fred Green Memorial Field paths with optional obstacle course. Parents/caregivers are welcome to join their kids along this ride.
- Kids Pedal Event led by Bike to the Sea - Many loops around the Melrose H.S. paths with obstacle courses. This event is best for kids who can confidently ride a pedal bike on their own, and are between the ages of around 3-10.
