Tour de Fruit Round 3 Presented by Neutral Cycle

Have you ever tasted a pawpaw, the largest edible fruit native to Urbana? On this 5 mile family friendly bike ride we'll visit numerous pawpaw trees and talk about everything pawpaw. Through the lens of pawpaw we'll touch upon history, ethnobotany, native ecology, poetry, propagation, cuisine, folk songs, and much more. Riders will be encouraged to save seeds and plant their own pawpaw patch.

Tour de Fruit Round 2 will take us to the edge of town for an interactive wild food plant walk. On the way we'll pass by several local forests to look at examples of native forest succession. The 13 mile ride will include one long break where we'll hop off the bike to get a close view of a variety of edible, medicinal, and dye plants. Both native and invasive species will be discussed for their utilitarian value. Be prepared for a 3 hour round trip with plenty of extra water and sunscreen.

Have you ever savored a serviceberry? Or marveled at the majesty of a wild mulberry? Join us for the Tour de Fruit where we'll discuss and explore C-U's wild food landscape with a friendly, inclusive bike ride. Arrive early for free air and lube compliments of Neutral Cycle.

Urbana Love presents with Neutral Cycle a FREE Summer Movie Night featuring Breaking Away.

The bicycle culture within the CU area has been growing and we thought it deserved a day this summer for celebration so come out on Friday, July 11th to help celebrate summer, bikes, good food, and good people with us.

Breaking Away is a critically acclaimed film from 1979 about the grit and strength of how bicycles bring people together.

On top of that we decided to host a Community Bike Ride. Community Bike Ride's are ways to help people feel more comfortable on a bike, encourage bike usage, and strengthen the CU bike culture.
