Planting the Community: Building a Community and Building Muscles

A great way to experience the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast is to go biking. I know, most of you are thinking, "I don't have anyone to ride with." Well that excuse isn't good anymore because MOB (Mobilians on Bikes) is a quickly growing community of bicyclists of all talents and ages.

Participating in a free community organization like Mobilians on Bikes is a great way to plant the community and a great way to get some ideas for your lawn or garden!

If you're not ready to take a big plunge, or if you're still pretty wobbly on the wheels, you should definitely join them for their Saturday or Sunday slow rides. It's a leisurely bike ride through some of Mobile's most beautiful neighborhoods.

They have a wide variety of places to cycle and all of them are great for getting to know your community, staying healthy, and spending time with family or friends. Here are a few of the recent events.

Here's their tagline: "Mobilians on Bikes promotes the utilitarian use of cycling for all Mobilians. We work to support the bicycle as an effective, fun, and safe means of urban transportation. Go to our group website to keep up with all the fun."

In short, Mobilians on Bikes is a great way to keep healthy and build a solid, safe, and productive community.
