A downtown Lethbridge cycling scavenger hunt and clues for historical people and places will take you all over town to end up at a final destination altogether! In partnership and support from Bike Lane & FRINGE Cycling Club. Meet at the Galt's parking lot where Bike Lane (formerly Mat's Bike Repair mobile) will be set up at the event offering inspections. We will discuss the rules of the road, the activity and then in small groups we will embark on a bike scavenger hunt that takes us around downtown Lethbridge! We will all be finalizing the Bike and Seek at the Galt Museum and share a fun summer treat and discuss what we learned! Bring your own bicycles, helmets, and safety gear. Water bottles are recommended. Be prepared to cycle about 6 km at a relaxed pace between 1 Street S to 13 Street South. Meet at the Galt Museum & Archives parking lot. Tickets are required in advance and must be purchased at least 2 hours before the program start time.
