Staying physically active is important to your health, especially during the pandemic. Take it outside to stay physically and mentally healthy during COVID-19. Be sure to follow guidance for disinfecting and social distancing while being outdoors. May is National Bike Month and although necessarily different this year, the focus remains on well-being and connection for physical and mental health benefits. Whether you are riding a bike for essential trips to work or shop, riding for your health, or riding with the family, you can be a part of a movement for safer streets, connected communities, and happier people. Get outdoors, go for a ride, and share the joy online together with #BikePolkCounty. For questions regarding the bike repair station, contact the City of Crookston at 218.281.1232.
