Cycling proponents Chris and Rene Creed of Festus have purchased an 820-acre piece of property off Plattin Road south of Festus where they plan to create bike, hiking and nature trails for public use.

The two own and operate the Pedal’n Pi bike and pizza shop in Crystal City and operate the Living Life on 2 Wheels nonprofit group that promotes bike riding and provides schools with bikes so students may learn how to ride.

The Creeds have long wanted to create a place where people can go to bike, hike and enjoy nature and have taken a step closer to making that a reality.

MoBikeFed comment: The Creeds are developing an array of bicycle-related projects in the Festus area through the Living Life on 2 Wheels nonprofit organization.

Among other projects, Living Life on 2 Wheels is bringing the AllKidsBike program to elementary schools in Jefferson County, St Louis County, and elsewhere.

AllKidsBike is designed to teach every kid how to ride a bike in the early grades of elementary school. This addresses a problem we see all too often today, where a majority of kids reach their teenage years without ever having the opportunity to learn how to ride a bike
