This week I’m with Pedal Party organizer Dominique Kelleybrew in Little Rock. Pedal Party is a free Monday evening social bike ride that welcomes everyone! You can watch part of our video interview on my instagram page Melissa Cowper-Smith Real Estate.
Starting from a restaurant or hotspot in Little Rock, the ride rolls out around 6:30pm and returns back to the starting point. The route is carefully planned to accommodate riders of all levels from kids to pros. It’s a great way to see parts of Little Rock you may never have known about!
Dominique Kelleybrew is one of the current organizers and original masterminds behind Pedal Party. It started as a small group in August of 2022. He saw the need for community and the importance of supporting local restaurants and breweries. Now with about 50 riders, Pedal Party has grown by both welcoming newcomers and making it fun to return weekly.
Pedal Party proudly describes itself as the “raddest, chillest, most epic, least Hyperbolic Monday social ride with beer/food stops.” Beyond having a great time, Pedal Party is committed to bike advocacy, promoting inclusivity, and having a voice in city planning.
Weekly ride starting places are posted on their Instagram stories on Saturday for the following Monday. Here’s a link to their Instagram page! The Pedal Party season goes from April through October ending with their popular Halloween ride.
So hop on your bike and join us for a ride, finding some community connection, and good vibes!
