Enjoy Bike with the Blue on Saturday, May the 4th (be with you)

The fourth annual Bike with the Blue event takes place in Lakeside Village (formerly Lakeside DFW) on Saturday, May 4. Runners and adult bikers are encouraged to register now. (Participants in the Bike with the Blue Youth Ride with officers need not register.) Helmets are required for all riders. 

The all-ages, all-skills Civilian Bike Race starts at 8 am, followed by the 5K that features a pet & owner division (new this year) at 8:30 am. A special “May the 4th Be With You” Star Wars Costume Contest starts at 9:30 am. The Ride with the Police for kids — that always produces priceless photo opps — begins at 10 am. Stick around to watch DFW’s finest police bicycle units compete at 10:45 am for the coveted Bike with the Blue trophy.

Between races, there’s lots to do for youngsters in the Kids Zone’s games, music, and a photo booth while the whole family will appreciate the 17 dining establishments (plus 20 shops) in The Shops at Lakeside. 

Proceeds from the event benefit Journey to Dream – Kyle’s Place, a transitional living program for homeless teens working towards independence.

Kyle’s Place is the only homeless shelter in Denton County to house and care for teens between 14-19 years old. While living at Kyle’s Place, teens work with family counselors, mentors who help with life skills, and have access to community resources.
