We’re nearing the end of Bike Month, but that doesn’t mean the benefits of riding on two wheels go away.

Perry Parks and Recreation Director John Anderson says there are many reasons to get out there and ride this spring and summer.

“Longevity.  You know, everybody wants to live longer and biking is one way for people to do that.  A little bit of exercise every day, or every week, really pushes you along and gives you a better quality of life.”

Anderson urges everyone to take advantage of the in town trails and the Raccoon River Valley Trail, as the Perry area is a premiere destination for cycling.
