April 26, 2022 - Pasadena Bike Shop Talk & Ride @ Memorial Park (Pasadena)
On Tuesday, April 26, 2022, Pasadena Parks and Recreation Department, Pasadena EDC, and Houston Parks Board hosted a free, family-friendly event at Pasadena's Memorial Park, featuring Bay Area Cycling for a tutorial on bike maintenance and safety.
Attendees learned about the Vince Bayou Greenway Project and the effort to transform Vince Bayou with recreational elements, including a trail between Pasadena’s Memorial Park and Strawberry Park. People also had the opportunity to provide input on the project's design and participate in a bike ride that included fun trivia questions along the way.
Popular suggested improvements included increased lighting, trash receptacles, bike racks, and benches at trailheads, entrances to trails with small parking lots, trail gateways, and smaller neighborhood entrances to trails. The most popular signage themes for the trail were nature and wildlife, Pasadena history, and bayou ecology.
