Kolo Sokol Bike Group

May 22, 2026

Our next ride will be:

Thursday, June 11, 2026 – American Sokol Organization 2026 Convention Ride
Plans are underway to meet up with a group of bikers as they arrive from Chicago for the 2026 ASO Convention in Minnesota June 12-14. Timing on this ride will need to be flexible so contact Steve.Ernest@Sokolmn.org if you are interested in participating.

Thanks to everyone who came out for our first ride, which was the European Friendship Ride on Europe Day, May 9th!
In addition to beautiful views of the Mississippi River and Minnehaha Falls, the 30+ mile ride took us to the Alliance Francaise in Minneapolis and the Germanic American Institute in Saint Paul before returning to Sokol’s CSPS Hall.

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.

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.
