Trek the Trails

Join the City of Fort Wayne, the City of New Haven, and Fort Wayne Trails on these family-friendly bike rides. Rides begin at 6:00 pm every other Tuesday throughout the summer. Participants are asked to wear helmets and bring water along for the ride. Most rides are 8-9 miles long. The average speed is 10-12 mph. This is a “no one left behind ride” and all skill levels are welcome! These rides are an awesome way to explore sections of trail you haven’t seen before or just to get out and see some old favorites! We hope that you will join us for a ride. Trek the Trails kicks off Tuesday April 28th, 2026 and goes through the end of September. All participants ride at their own risk.

CANCELING RIDES

  • Severe weather may result in the cancellation of the event. Be sure to check Fort Wayne Trails’ social media channels at least one hour before the ride if you are unsure.
  • The City of Fort Wayne has also determined that Trek the Trails rides will be canceled if a Heat Advisory is issued by the National Weather Service.
  • Rides will typically not be rescheduled.

ADAPTIVE BIKES

We are working with the YMCA and Turnstone to make Trek the Trails accessible to all. Based on your needs you may be able to use an adaptive bike or take advantage of the Y’s Trail Buddies program. We would love to have you join us for a ride!

2025 Trek The Trails shirt pre-order is now closed. We will have a small number of extra shirts that will be available for purchase at Trek the Trails rides and our offices! Grab one while you can!

Please register here if you’d like to attend. This will assist us in providing improved communication with you, track how many people we might see at each event, and provide a way for you to give us anonymous feedback about your Trek the Trails experience and ideas about trail development.  All riders can “sign-in” at each ride for an additional chance to win a drawing at the end of the season. You only need to register online one time per season.

We are excited to be once again partner with our friends at Old Fort Bicycle for the Trek the Trails giveaway this year! They will be providing TWO Specialized Bicycles for the drawing at the end of the season! Thank you Old Fort Bicycle!
