Family Bike Ride 2026

A family of four on bicycles

Join the Special Events Commission for a free community bike ride!

Spend some quality time with your family or just enjoy a leisurely 4-mile bike ride around Mount Prospect with your neighbors. Before or after the ride, hang out for some bike safety education and visit booths from local organizations. 

Ride in style with our bike decorating station, take some giveaways home, and enjoy more family-friendly activities before the school year starts! As a bonus, kids who complete the bike ride will receive a Bike Ride Achievement Award from the Mount Prospect Raising Cane's location – good for a free Kids Combo.

Approximately 6 miles, the Family Bike Ride route is designed to be leisurely and not too physically taxing for inexperienced riders. Experienced riders may loop around and ride the route twice if they please. Public safety will be present to ensure all bikers cross streets safely. Click here for a PDF of the map.
