DEARBORN — Dozens of cyclists came out on a chilly morning to join the city’s first Healthy Dearborn Family Bike Ride.

The riders began their 6.5 mile-route at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center and biked through the heart of Dearborn on Sunday, Oct. 18. 

The ride was part of the Healthy Dearborn Initiative, which promotes wellness and encourages residents to be physically active, make good nutritional choices develop social connections.

The city of Dearborn and Beaumont Health hosted the bike ride. More community events will be held in the future through the Healthy Dearborn Initiative.
