CycLOUvia - Frankfort Ave

Spring has sprung and we were able to have our first family bike ride ever at CycLOUvia on Sunday! CycLOUvia was held on Frankfort Ave between Stilz and Pope. It was a 2 mile stretched of closed roads - just opened to pedestrians to bikers and all in between from 2-6pm. From its website, "CycLOUvia events also meet the goals of the city’s Healthy Hometown Movement, which helps to establish healthier places, programs and policies toward making Louisville one of the healthiest cities in the country."

My whole family enjoyed the atmosphere and was a great experience for my 6 year old to practice biking in a friendly and leisurely moving crowd.  It was an experience in itself to see all the different bikes out - snail looking bike, unicycle - with gears, tandems, and even old fashioned high wheel bike.

There was also live music spread out through the open road. Plenty of activities for the kids such as learning how to make braille at the American Printing House and the library was open. You could have easily had dinner, but we just opted for some ice cream. There was a few stations to have your bike tuned up too. In addition, CycLOUvia had Waterstep containers for people to donated gently used shoes as well.

We are already looking forward the next one. Follow them on facebook for more information. Definitely a fun way to get some fit in!
