Join Us July 18th & 19th, 2025
Pedal for a cause at the 6th Annual Pedal Point Rally! The Pedal Point Rally is a two-day celebration of cycling for all ages and all types of riders, with proceeds from the ride going to benefit Spokes Fighting Strokes Adaptive Cycling. Whether you ride a bike or trike, or even if you're pulling kids in a trailer, all are welcome. You can register for Friday and Saturday, or just Saturday, and kids 15 and under ride FREE!
Friday activities include your choice of one of two tours, either a bike/walking tour of Stevens Point murals in the historic downtown area, or a bike tour of the Stevens Point Sculpture Park, with over 40 art installations. After the tours, we will head to the Stevens Point Brewery for Polito's Pizza, plus optional brewery tours. After that, we will head back to the Shoppe for a drawing for the popular Golden Envelope Contest.
Saturday brings more cycling fun! The Saturday tour routes of differing lengths feature beautiful, scenic marked bicycle rides with rest stops and sag service. The four-mile Ice Cream Ride will head to Feltz Dairy Store and Farm, which includes the option to purchase a two-scoop ice cream cone or dish, and playground and petting zoo access – great for families with kids! When you get back to the Shoppe, you can purchase lunch from El Metate Taqueria Food Truck. Enjoy free test rides on bike and trike demos, visit with vendor representatives, kids’ games and activities, seminars, and lots of fun and camaraderie! Don't miss this fun event for the whole family!
Riding for a Cause!
All Ride Proceeds Benefit Spokes Fighting Strokes
Spokes Fighting Strokes was founded by Dan Zimmerman, who suffered a stroke in 2005 as result of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). Though recovery was difficult and took a long time, he is now able to do many things that were previously considered unattainable. His mission is to reach every stroke survivor and show them that recovery is possible! Through his Spokes Adaptive Cycling clinics, he helps stroke survivors gain independence, ability, hope, and freedom. The goal is to increase awareness about stroke and HHT (Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia), the cause of his stroke, and to make adaptive cycling available to the stroke community. While he and his organization focus on overcoming the hurdles of suffering a stroke, his empowering message and the products he highlights can help a wide range of people such as those with traumatic brain injuries, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, balance issues, limb loss or paralysis, or those on the Autism spectrum.
All proceeds from the ride and registration will go to support their mission of doing cross country tours with a fleet of demo trikes and adaptive equipment allowing people to demo the equipment, answer questions and help them regain their freedom.
