Date: Saturday, 1st April Meeting point: 10h00 in front of the Maison de Quartier of Thônex Departure: 10h30 Arrival and lunch: 12h00, Maison de Quartier of Thônex
How it works:
The Association des Familles de Thônex Nord invites you to a family bike day to promote safe cycling in our neighborhood, as well as to gather as a community for a fun activity. So please register and come with your bikes, baby trailers, helmets, and appetites!
The day will start at 10h00 at Thônex’s Maison de Quartier, where we can share a coffee and croissant before heading out on an 8k tour of Thônex Nord. We’ll depart at 10h30 after a safety briefing and break into 2 groups depending on the ages of children. We will cycle for about 1.5 hours, with a couple of stops to discuss topics related to cycling as a family.
At the end of our trip, we will regroup at the starting point for a hearty soup, cheese and bread – which will be provided by the AFTN Cycling Team. We will also start up the grill, so you are welcome to bring your own meats or other things for the bbq.
After lunch, we offer a few small workshops where you can learn the basics of bike maintenance. You are welcome to participate, get all your questions answered, or mingle with other families. Representatives from ProVelo also aim to join!
Please note the following: *Children are under the responsibility of their parents at all times. *All should wear helmets and be able to ride 2-wheel bikes (not tricycles). Otherwise, they are welcome to be on their parents’ bike or bike trailer. *The event is free of charge, but there will be a small “donation jar” to help us cover the cost of the food.
