#3 – From HERALD-DISPATCH – For Samantha Nygaard, her West Virginia Pedal Pals rides have always been about the people.
Every few weeks when the weather is warm, Nygaard hosts a free, family-friendly bike ride, typically a tour of Charleston highlighting art, history or architecture throughout the city. The rides are suitable for ages 7 to 70 and beyond, she said. The group rides build confidence for road riding.
