BERLIN– Town officials approved plans for a community bike ride to be held in May.
The Berlin Town Council last week agreed to approve a new town wide bike ride. The event, which will start and end at Heron Park, will be held May 20.
“May is national Bike Month and is promoted by the League of American Bicyclists and has been celebrated in communities from coast to coast since 1956,” said Ivy Wells, the town’s economic and community development director. “National Bike Month is a chance to showcase the many benefits of bicycling and encourage more people to give bike riding a try.”
Wells said she was seeking approval for the new community event after working with the Worcester County Bike and Pedestrian Coalition. She said the group had hosted community rides throughout Worcester County in 2021 and wanted to expand those efforts in 2022. Rides are currently planned for May 14 in Snow Hill and Pocomoke, May 21 in Ocean Pines and May 20 in Berlin. The Berlin ride would start at 7 p.m. at Heron Park and would loop through town before ending back at Heron Park.
Wells said she’d worked with the Berlin Police Department on developing the route.
