Bicycle Friendly

There’s really nothing quite like it. To be pedaling, sweating, agonizing, with legs throbbing and chest burning as the wheels on your bike go round-and-round. For those of us who are three season bikers in Des Moines it’s the time of year when we check our tires, knock on our helmets, and brave the elements.
Though the ride is usually exhilarating due to climate and effort there’s one thing that does make Des Moines a bit of a scary place to roll. Drivers. Yep. In the absence of clear bike lanes around the city it seems that drivers often forget that bikes count as vehicles…and as people!
Finn Miles is a biking band. It keeps our lungs strong and our reflexes sharp. If you value community; if you value musicians, If you don’t like roadkill…

consider this a friendly reminder…be kind to bikers.

Thanks!
