Gilbert, Arizona Celebrates April as Valley Bike Month

April is Valley Bike Month and Gilbert, Arizona is inviting residents to get out and enjoy the beautiful spring weather with a family bike ride. Throughout the Valley there are a variety of events to urge Arizonans to get fit and enjoy the outdoors while practicing bicycle safety.

On April 6, 2010 at 6 p.m., all kids and families are invited to attend a proclamation ceremony supporting helmet safety in Gilbert at Town Hall, 50 E. Civic Center Drive, in room 300.

All Valley residents are invited to participate in the annual Great Bike Chase, on April 25, 2010. The Great Bike Chase takes friends and family on a 4.3- mile fun ride through downtown Phoenix to see the Arizona Diamondbacks play at Chase Field.

Before the Arizona Diamondbacks game, participants in the Great Bike Chase can enjoy entertainment, free bike safety checks, prize drawings, face painting and a “Bike Safety Rodeo”. The first 50 Bike Rodeo participants receive a free bike helmet. There will also be special prizes for those who complete the rodeo course. Participants interested in the ride only can register for $10. Those interested in both the ride and game can register early for $20 or pay $30 for both the ride and game the day of the event.

The Town of Gilbert Bike to Work Day is Monday, April 26, 2010. This FREE event will be held from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and will feature breakfast and appetizers, prize drawings, contests, safety materials and demonstrations.
