Emack and Bolio Ride

We had a great turnout on Saturday for our Community Bike Ride from Community Park to Emack and Bolio's ice cream shop in the Southfield shopping center. About fifty cyclists participated in a fun family event that combined biking on the new Trolley Line Trail with eating ice cream for a good cause! Riders as young as 6 years old made the round trip, and a team of WW Bicycle and Pedestrian volunteers helped keep everyone safe. Thanks to all the volunteers, thanks to Emack and Bolio for contributing a portion of their profits to the Alliance, and many thanks to WWBPA members Kathy Stratton and Kim Meersma for coming up with the original idea and for the whole Meersma-Stratton family for all their help in the event. And thanks to all the riders who made this event so fun! We will definitely do this again next year!

Take a Round Trip Saturday September 29

Take a round-trip bike ride along part of the PSE&G right of way from Community Park to the Emack and Bolio's Ice Cream shop in the Southfiled Retail Center on Princeton-Hightstown Road. This route demonstrates the new cycling connectivity on this trail and residential streets between Community Park and the shopping center.


The route is 4 miles each way on flat terrain, and individual or groups of riders of all ages who can complete the course are welcome. Participants may purchase refreshments at the mid-point of the ride at Emack and Bolio, who will contribute a percentage of proceeds to the West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance (WWBPA). The WWBPA is a not for profit corporation established in January 2006 and its goal is to promote bicycling and walking in West Windsor Township and neighboring communities, emphasizing access, education, mobility, and safety.
