Pedal Jam -- Rescheduled to September 7
in 2023 we invited the community to bike through the neighborhoods, parks and businesses of Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park on a sunny day in August and were thrilled that 212 people accepted our invitation!
In 2025 we passed the event to SARX, a Brooklyn Park based nonprofit, that is looking to bring a new route and vision to the event while maintaining the emphasis on community and active living.
