"I salute the Edina Morningside Rotary Club's
efforts to promote healthy lifestyles and healthy
communities by organizing the World's Largest
Bike Parade. Bike riding is a great way
for people of all ages to have fun, stay fit, and
get around. The Edina Bike Parade is going to be
a great event, and we hope it will set a new
world record that everyone in our state can be
proud of."
