Bring your own bike, or hop on a FREE bikeshare e-bike provided by Charlotte Joy Rides. We will take a leisurely ride along Little Sugar Creek Greenway to Freedom Park and back along this paved section of the Carolina Thread Trail. We will make a few stops along the way to learn about the history of Little Sugar Creek and the transformation and restoration of this historic waterway.
