The city posted the details to social media on Tuesday afternoon. Starting at 8 a.m. on May 16, community members will gather at the B.F. Phillips Community Park, 3335 Timber Ridge.

According to the program website, these monthly rides take place April through September. The rides take a conversational pace so that City of Frisco elected officials and staff from city departments can engage with residents.

Routes are a combination of on-street and hike & bike trails with distances ranging from 5-10 miles. Each ride lasts between 2-3 hours. Residents are encouraged to participate so they can learn about Frisco, enjoy its parks, and discover public art.
