With the last of the snow from a rather intense winter finally melting away, spring has sprung and people are busy preparing for the many outdoor recreation activities abundant in the region.
One of those popular activities — bike riding — is equally appreciated and celebrated by both residents and visitors in Leelanau and surrounding counties all year-long, but the sport is especially favored in the warmer months.
Local bike shops report that now is the time to take your bike in to be serviced before heading out on the trails to ensure a comfortable and safe ride. The start of spring isn’t as busy because many people are just returning to the area, but getting your bike looked at now means avoiding the more crowded times in the heat of the summer.
