Riders will leave from North School Park at Arlington Heights Road and Eastman Street at 9:15 a.m. with route guidance from members of the village's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission and the police department's bike patrol.

Those who have registered online can have their bikes checked by a mechanic between 8 and 9 a.m. Fresh fruit and granola bars will be provided. Attendees are asked to bring a refillable water bottle and helmets, and be familiar with rules of the road and basic bicycle operation.
