Some 50 to 150 bicyclists are expected to pedal through the rural roads of Callaway County this weekend for the first annual BikeMo Map Ride.Bicyclists can save $5 by pre-registering for BikeMO online (even up to 6AM the day of the ride), or day-of-ride registration is also welcomed.
The ride, sponsored by the Missouri Bicycle Federation Inc., is a fundraiser to support bicycle and pedestrian advocacy.
Organizers for the event said the ride is a celebration of the recent passing of the 2005 Missouri Bicycle Safety Bill, which passed earlier in May.
”We'd been working for three years to pass the bicycle safety bill, and this spring it finally passed,“ said Brent Hugh, director of the bicycle federation. ”Saturday's ride is a part of our growing process.“
