2025 Let's Go Biking! For Families in the City of Weston
On Saturday, April 5, the MPO showcased our commitment to promoting safety and fun with our annual Let's Go Biking! For Families event. This year’s gathering drew over 100 participants to the City of Weston. Since 2014, we have organized these events to encourage the use of Broward’s various infrastructure options. Cyclists of all ages and skill levels took part in the day’s activities, which extended beyond just the bike ride. Attendees had the opportunity to participate in helmet fittings and a bike activity for the little ones to sharpen their cycling skills.
The event was not just a day of fun, but also an educational opportunity for families to learn about safe cycling practices. Weston, known for its ground up design to foster community and meet the needs of families, collaborated with our agency to make this event a success. Recent investments in the city have made transportation options safer and more convenient for its residents. These projects underscore Weston's forward-thinking approach fostering a community that values safety for families.
Take a look at the fantastic photo gallery here. We hope this event has inspired everyone to continue exploring the benefits their neighborhoods have to offer. Thank you to the City of Weston for organizing such an amazing event and to all the participants who made it a success. We look forward to many more adventures around Broward County in the future!
