Join BikeArlington and Arlington Art Truck for a beautiful art tour of Arlington! This ride will start and end at the Arlington Art Truck’s pop-up along the W&OD Trail. Together we will ride to three new South Arlington public art displays before returning to the Art Truck to participate in Edgar Reyes’ Interconnected Roots where we learn about the diversity and interconnectivity of our communities and the native plants that grow within them.
This ride will be slow paced with stops along the way to learn about and admire some of Arlington’s beautiful public art. The ride will be about 4 miles on mostly trails and neighborhood streets.

Take a fun bike while learning about the planets with the Friends of Arlington Planetarium as we ‘bike the solar system’ on this 4.5-mile loop around Arlington. We will stop along the way to mark-off the distance as if we were biking from the sun to all the planets in our solar system.

BikeArlington & WalkArlington partner to clean up a part of the W&OD Trail on Saturday, July 23. We will make our way down the W&OD, starting near the Barcroft Community Center, setting up our tent on the W&OD Trail at the intersection of a small road named “Barcroft Center” and Four Mile Run Drive. We will pick up trash that accumulates alongside the trail. We will provide trash bags, gloves, trash pickers, drinks and some snacks. We will also have Bike and Walk giveaways.
We will build on the work we did on Celebrate Trails Day, when we cleaned up another section of the W&OD trail.
