Get tips on family bicycling and commuting along the bike paths and bike lanes of Fort Collins. Check out ‘09 bikes and bike trailers from local bike shops and manufacturers. Local bike organizations will also be on hand to offer information on how to get involved with the bicycling community.

The Family Bike Fair is part of FC Bikes’ focus that involves growing the bicycle culture in south Fort Collins. FC Bikes hopes to integrate more bike-related events on the south side of town to incorporate education, encouragement, and community outreach.
