Bike riding is a great opportunity to get some fresh air and some exercise–all at your own pace. Winneshiek County is blessed with awesome trails. Before taking a bike ride, it’s a good idea to check the tire inflation, the brakes, the chain, and to be sure that your bike has reflectors and even a bike light. Put your helmet on and make adjustments each time you ride. Be sure to follow the rules of the road–this means stopping at ALL stop signs and using your hand signals.
