How We Roll

Pedal and Roll is a small group of biking enthusiasts who enjoy pedaling outdoors.  We like the independence of riding and the camaraderie of pedaling with friends.  Did you know that vigorous pedaling reduces symptoms of Parkinson’s disease?

Rides are accompanied by a lead rider and a “sweep”.  Our experienced volunteers model trail etiquette, guide the group, and address minor mechanical issues.  Riding together builds community, confidence, and stamina.  We do not charge a fee for our services.  Donations are welcome.  Contact us for more information.  

 

Why Ride with Us?

Discover that the sport of cycling is still within reach.

Learn trail safety and etiquette, and gain knowledge of the vast trail system available locally.  We ride dedicated bike trails, using roads only as connections between trails.

Access quality cycles without having to purchase or store a trike.

Enjoy the support/friendship of other People with Parkinson’s.

 

Research supports the finding that consistent and frequent exercise can combat the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease.  People who stay physically active can improve their balance and coordination as well as their stamina, motivation and mood.

 

We have a small curated collection of four 3 wheel e-trikes (electric assist) and 4 human powered 3 wheel trikes that we use to (re)introduce PwP to the fun and freedom of outdoor cycling. We believe in experiencing the trike so you can find out what special equipment or creature comforts you might want or need. 

 

Our goal is to help you become a trike rider by actually getting out there and riding.  So, please join us if you’re interested in riding or trying different kinds of trikes, or if you want an unbiased, experienced opinion on the best trike for you.

Best reason of all to join us:  We have loads of fun and enjoy each other’s company while reaping the benefits of exercise!

 

Keep watching our Facebook page for current and updated information.  

 

****Helmet required for all rides.  No exceptions.****  

Our trikes have pedal straps which are required for riding unless you have bike shoes that will clip into our SPD pedals.

 

Cancellations and changes will be announced on Pedal and Roll’s Facebook page 2 hours prior to ride
