March 2017 News



The days are getting longer and it's starting to feel like spring! Hopefully your ride is all tuned up and ready for the riding season. But you don't need to wait for the perfect spring day, check out all the reasons to get out and ride right now in our calendar below.

30 Days of Biking

April 1st kicks off the 30 Days of Biking Challenge. FAB challenges you to make the pledge to ride your bike every day in April. It doesn't matter where or how far you ride, just get out there every day. Join the community of joyful bicyclists here: https://goo.gl/i3qFf1

There are special kickoff and wrap up rides too. See the calendar below.

Bike Friendly Businesses

Sioux Falls currently has four bike friendly businesses. FAB would love to help your employer become the 5th! Our volunteers are available to consult with local businesses to help them become certified with the League of American Bicyclists. If you believe your employer should become bike friendly, contact president@clubfab.org, we're happy to help.
