  Free Cycle the Arts event fun for entire family

Hop on your bike and get an up close, personal look at Scottsdale’s public art at the 4^th Annual Cycle the Arts event Sunday, March 29^th at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA).

The event is free and fun for the entire family and features about a dozen works of art. Participants will learn interesting facts about each public art piece along the three-mile route from city staff and local experts.

Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. with the first group of 20 riders departing at 8 a.m. with a designated ride leader. Additional groups of 20 riders will depart every 10 minutes. For safety, helmets are required.

While you’re waiting for your group to depart, there will be activities throughout the morning and free admission to the museum after your ride as part of Bike to SMoCA Day. Just park your bicycle with the bike valet.

Cycle the Arts is presented by the city of Scottsdale’s Transportation and Community Services departments and the Scottsdale Cultural Council. For more information go to www.scottsdaleaz.gov/traffic and click on “Bikeways.”
