Even kids this age can participate in the Forest Hill Park Spring Classic.

Tip of the cap to Richard Hayes of Hills and Heights for having this announcement from the Friends of Forest Hill Park first. If you’ve got a kid that loves to ride bikes — or you think, with a little nudge, would love to ride bikes — check out the below. I’m signing up my 4-year-old today.

Be a part of the first Forest Hill Spring Classic, a series of bicycle races and activities for ages 2 to 18, to be held in Forest Hill Park, 4021 Forest Hill Avenue, Sunday, April 8th from 1-5 p.m. The rain date is April 15th.  Come out to the races and enjoy music, face painting, balloons, bicycle maintenance instruction and local food trucks. Prizes will be awarded for each race.
