Opening Day Bike Ride

Here’s a double-header just right for Tribe fans and bike trekkers alike: Today’s Opening Day Ride for the Tribe, sponsored by Joy Machines Bicycle Shop and Bob’s Bike Tours. Riders and their helmets are asked to arrive at the West Side Market at 10 a.m. The 8-mile tour begins at 11 a.m., and passes by sites near and dear to baseball fans — the former League Park at East 66th and Lexington, and the former Muni Stadium — before winding up at Progressive Field. Once there, riders will receive a lower reserved-seat ticket, a commemorative t-shirt, and entry into a raffle for gifts and prizes. Cost of all the above is $50, with proceeds supporting the Cleveland Indian Charities. (Need a pre-ride tune up? Head over to Joy Machines at 1836 West 25th St., where participants can snag a $10 discount.) “It’s a great way to combine your love of Cleveland, your love of the Indians, and your love of biking,” says tour company owner Bob Polk, adding that even non-riders are welcome to take part. Tickets are available at Joy Machines (216-308-5022) or by calling Polk at the number below. Check out Bob’s Bike Tours on Facebook for more info.
