BELLEVILLE, NJ – MAY 9, 2023 – It’s time to put some air in those tires and strap on that helmet because Belleville’s most beloved annual events is set for next month.

The third-annual Belleville Community Bike Ride will be held Saturday, June 3 beginning at 10:30 a.m.

The members of the Belleville Police Department under the leadership of Chief Mark Minichini play host to the free 3.6-mile community bike ride.

The event has been a hit with residents who enjoy taking a leisurely tour of the town with their friends and family members. It’s also a great opportunity to meet fellow residents from across Belleville.

“The bike ride is another opportunity in which to meet our police officers and get to know them better,” Minichini said. “Members of our department will be serving as escorts throughout the event. It’s a perfect time to say `hi’ to some of the officers who work hard every day to keep our community safe and secure.”

Same-day registration for the Community Bike Ride will begin at 9 a.m. Participants are urged to preregister by logging onto BellevilleNJ.org or by using a QR code that can be found on the town’s social media, dated April 26, at facebook.com/OfficialBellevilleNJ

The ride will start and end at the Belleville School No. 7 parking lot at 20 Passaic Ave.

There will be a small obstacle course area for our young and new riders. Free giveaways and helmets will be provided for those who need them, while limited supplies last.

Snacks and refreshments will also be available while supplies last.

One of the other great benefits of the Community Bike Ride, which will be held on World Bicycle Day, is that cycling is great exercise, said Mayor Michael Melham.

“Developing and supporting community-wide events that promote exercise and help us create and healthier and happier Belleville has been one of my main focuses as mayor,” Melham said. “Cycling is one of my very favorite forms of exercise. So, I hope everyone comes out and rides along with us.”
