Kolo means bike in Czech and Slovak

Kolo Sokol is a recreational group created to help support the goals of Czech and Slovak Sokol Minnesota:
community and fitness for individuals and families through cultural, educational, physical, and social programs.

Anyone can join the group and help organize our activities. Some rides are pre-planned, usually leaving from Sokol Minnesota’s CSPS Hall and taking various routes on the trails along both sides of the Mississippi river in Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Special rides are sometimes planned for other routes around the twin cities area. Rides are family-friendly and focus on safety for all participants.

For more information and to share ideas for new routes and events, e-mail steve.ernest@sokolmn.org

Kolo t-shirts are available in the Gift Shop. You can find gift shop hours at sokolmn.org/gift-shop. Grey shirts are 90% cotton w/10% poly. Blue and red shirts are 100% cotton. These shirts tend to run a little small so you may want to get a size bigger if in doubt.
