Tykes On Bikes In Morristown

Gran Fondo hosts a free event for kids day before annual cycling event.

Mini bike enthusiasts can come out the day before Gran Fondo's event on Sunday to enjoy their own rides. As part of the Gran Fondo NJ weekend, Kid Fondo is a free event for kids who want to join in on the fun.

Kid Fondo is an event for youths aged 5 through 12. The event will provide training on basic cycling skills, give participants a warm-up session, and help children decorate their bikes. The safe “Circuit-ride” around the property of the Vail Mansion will end with kids earning finishers' medals and chowing down on a very kid-friendly menu that will include mac and cheese, pizza, and drinks.

This year’s Kid Fondo will be held on Saturday, September 10, from 10 AM to 2 PM. Organizers have ensured the event is free, but urge participants to make a voluntary donation to the New Jersey Bike and Walk Coalition, an organization that does a lot of great work to make cycling safer for kids.
