Community supports Biking with BeanzieTo the Editor:
The Kishwaukee Kiwanis Club of DeKalb thanks our community for a successful 12th annual Biking with Beanzie on July 18.
Riders chose from 23-, 43-, 66- and 101-mile routes. More than 500 bicycle riders from throughout the Midwest participated in the ride with no injuries. It was extremely hot, but, thankfully, there was no rain.
Kiwanis is a global organization of member-volunteers working to change the world, one child and one community at a time. Profits from the Beanzie ride go to support the DeKalb County Bike Pathway and other worthy projects throughout DeKalb County, helping to make our community a better place to live.
