Rochester Community Bike Club - Pata de Perro

09/30/2026

Our organization always puts up Latino Fest Rochester, MN and this year was a blast.

We had many stop by and try charging their phones and a light by powering a battery. This awesome, interactive stop shows the relationship between energy put in and energy out.

By pedaling a bike, you create electrical energy which is then transferred and temporarily stored in a battery to power a light bulb and even charge your phone!

Thanks to all that made this event possible and to all that stopped by to say hello.

Have you met Katrine?

She is one of our volunteers who commutes by bike only. She comes from Europe and had been in Rochester for several years as she continues to follow her passion in medicine. Her perspective on biking is a very fun.

It is because of Katrine that we started putting stickers on all the bikes that leave our program. Perhaps you have seen the around?

If you see her, maybe you can chat about bikes with her!

1:30 Hours Away

Martin heard about our program from one of our awesome volunteer mechanics and swung by from the Twin Cities for a bike!

He got a sweet ride that he will use to get around the parks and trails.

As you may remember, a few weeks back we got a donation from RPS, one of the items was a tricycles.

We don’t always see trikes- let alone new and in a box!

We dropped off some more bikes for Adult Learn to Ride!

This has been an awesome experience for us and a great way to get more people out ridding safely.
