Schaumburg organizing Bike Month events in June

The village of Schaumburg will celebrate Bike Month in June and is encouraging businesses and organizations to join in by forming virtual teams of four for the 4th Annual Business Bike Classic.

Participating riders will record their bicycle mileage for all bicycling activity during the month of June. Mileage from spinning and stationary bikes is also eligible. Teams must register online at bit.ly/2022businessbikeclassic.

New this year, cumulative results will be tracked for the top teams in each of the three mileage brackets (100-999 miles; 1,000-1,999 miles; 2,000+ miles). The top three teams in each mileage bracket will earn prizes, and the team with the most miles in the entire competition will be presented with the traveling Business Bike Classic trophy.

The popular Fahrrad Tour von Schaumburg returns and is open to the public. The event, sponsored by the village and the Schaumburg Park District, will kick off at noon Sunday, June 5, from the Robert O. Atcher Municipal Center Plaza, 101 Schaumburg Court.

Participants will ride in a five-mile police-escorted tour, using both on and off-street bike paths throughout neighborhoods and parks surrounding the municipal center.

Immediately following the ride, a picnic-style lunch will be served. Participants will be able to eat their lunch safely distanced on the municipal grounds.

Riders must register online and sign a liability waiver on the park district's website at bit.ly/3wCN8VP.

Helmets are encouraged. Beginners and riders with training wheels are advised not to participate.
