Our first bike ride of the year was a success!

Over 20 neighbors came out for an afternoon bike ride on Sunday, May 29th. We met up at 2:00pm at Three Mile Park.

The event started with a bicycle giveaway, generously donated by Brilliant Detroit.

The winner and recipient was KaiLaunei Tripp, who was nominated by her grandmother, Michelle Tripp. KaiLaunei is a 14-year old who lives with her family in Morningside. She is on the Dean’s List at U Prep Science & Math High School.

Her grandmother, Michelle Tripp, said:

I would like to nominate my granddaughter for a bike. She lives near E Warren but walks to Charlevoix everyday to take the bus to school and walks several blocks after getting off the bus in order to reach her school. A bike would help her out a lot.

KaiLaunei was super excited to win the bike, and everyone at MCO and Brilliant Detroit were happy to award it to her.

After the giveaway, we zig-zagged our way to various neighborhood stops. We had great weather and good vibes the entire time. A handful of kids even joined our crew as they saw us cruising by!

Join us for our next bike ride! Saturday, June, 25th. We’ll meet at 10:00 a.m. at Three Mile-Munich Park and wrap up by 12:00 p.m.

Hope to see you there.
