In conjunction with the nationwide Bike Month, Park City leaders are hoping to inspire everyone to get on two wheels, whether it's because you want to be a little more environmentally friendly, avoid commuting traffic, or just ride for the fun of it. Check out these fantastic community events happening around town this May.
