Bike to Work Day

The When:

Before Work Friday, May 18th, 2012

The Where:

Wherever you are! (map)

The What:

Consider biking to work or for errands in Ypsilanti? This one day of the year is dedicated to getting people on bikes so give it a try! For those needing to go to Ann Arbor, join the Bike Ypsi group commute ride to Ann Arbor (to end at that City's Bike To Work Day rally) leaving promptly at 7:30 from Beezys Café, 20 North Washington Street in downtown Ypsi (come earlier for breakfast – Beezys opens at 7am and they can cook fast).

Bike Bash

The When:

5:30-8pm Friday, May 18th, 2012

The Where:

Ann Arbor Farmers Market in Kerrytown (map)

The What:

A party to celebrate all things biking! Enjoy musical entertainment, food and drink, a Bike Bling station (paint your own bike bell or make your own spoke card), bike commuting classes, a Free Ride bike show, photo booth, King/Queen Bike Commuter competition, and more. Bike Ypsi ride (casual pace) leaving from Ypsilanti to the Bike Bash (mainly off road on the Border To Border Trail) leaving at 5pm from the Corner Brewery (Forest and Norris) and back to Ypsi at 8pm (bring front/rear bike lights).

Sunday Rides

The When:

Every Sunday year round
Time: 1:00pm

The Where:

Recreation Park, Ypsilanti (map)

The What:

Our usual weekly group ride meets each Sunday afternoon at 1:00 pm at Recreation Park at the corner of Elm and Congress (map) and rides for about an hour or two, depending on who is riding and where they vote to go. If there are multiple route suggestions and enough people, we've been known to split up into two groups. It's a "self-supported" ride, which means that, though others might happen to have water, phone, pump, spare tube, etc., there's no guarantee (bring your own to be sure). Also, while helmets aren't required by law in Michigan for adults, we strongly encourage helmet use. Minors of course are required by law to wear a helmet when cycling on public roads.

Friday Morning Ride to Work

The When:

Every Friday morning, 52 weeks per year!
Time: Meet 8:00am

The Where:

Beezy's cafe, 20 North Washington Street (map)

The What:

Ride leaves around 8am so arrive earlier for a great breakfast. Some riders bike to work in Ann Arbor, St. Joes hospital, or Washtenaw Community College. Other riders, perhaps off for the morning, will take a 30-45 minute jaunt around the Border To Border Trail to the west of Ypsi then returning to town. It’s a great way to start your morning or try commuting for the first time with a group.
