Join the 2012 Philomath SRTS Summer Bike Club!
Fridays, from June 29 to August 17 from 11:00am-3:00pm.
For kids ages 5 - 12 years old.
No bike? No worries! If your child rides but doesn’t own their own bike
they can still participate in the fun using a loaner from our bike fleet.
Summer Bike Club is a fun way for your child to get practical biking experience while safely learning the rules of the road, how to care for their bikes, and that they can get to fun activities using their own energy! To participate in the program is free. The only cost is the cost of admission of the activities. Children need to supply their own sack lunch, water bottle, and backpack each week. Strengthening Rural Families will provide an afternoon snack each week.
