Throughout May, riders across the city celebrated biking, explored Raleigh’s greenways and parks, and took part in our first-ever Pedal to the Parks Challenge - and we couldn’t be more thankful for everyone who joined the fun. From scenic rides around lakes and wetlands to family bike trips and peaceful solo rides through the greenway system, the challenge gave riders an opportunity to experience some of Raleigh’s beautiful outdoor spaces on two wheels.
Winner - Andrew N.
