First Ride Kids’ Bike Clinic
About 50 kids from all over the Milwaukee area attended this free instructional clinic to help them take their “First Ride” on a two–wheeled bicycle. The “balancing first” method gave children lots of opportunity to practice and get comfortable without training wheels or pedals. Many class participants got the hang of it and rode out of the class on two wheels! Staffed by professionals from the Shorewood Police Department and Rainbow Jersey Bicycles in Shorewood, First Ride was presented by the Shorewood BID, Rainbow Jersey Bicycles and PNC Bank.
Tour de Shops
Saturday, June 11 – Wednesday, June 15
Shorewoodians and other Shorewood shoppers were invited to take their “Passport to Savings” into the Shorewood Business District for Shorewood’s first–ever Tour de Shops!

- * Spa Package from The Establishment Salon
- * Photo shoot and wall portrait from Gloss Photography Studios
