Posted

As part of its nationwide “Hello Fun Tour,” Pedego Electric Bikes Ponte Vedra hosted a neighborhood “palooza” event featuring a group Pedego ride along the St. Augustine to Palatka Rail to Trail, live music from local artist Christian Powers and a picnic lunch on Saturday, March 20.

The group ride began at 10 a.m. at the St. Augustine to Palatka Rail to Trail, located at 3797 State Road 207 in Elkton. When the group returned to the trailhead at noon, they were greeted with a complimentary picnic lunch.

“We are thrilled to be celebrating our Pedego community with this palooza event,” said Glenn McIntosh, owner of Pedego Ponte Vedra. “Pedego is focused on connection with others, adventure and simply enjoying the outdoors. We are grateful for our community, and we’re excited to see it continue to grow.”

The event was one stop of many on Pedego’s 2021 Hello Fun Tour. With stops in more than 80 communities that are home to Pedego storefronts, the Hello Fun Tour will highlight more than 40 new store openings, adding to the brand’s footprint of over 140 locally-owned locations.

“The Hello Fun Tour is the highlight of our year at Pedego,” said Pedego CEO Don DiCostanzo. “We love the opportunity to celebrate our communities. This tour is a unique way for us to show our appreciation and to surprise and delight our store owners and customers. Pedego is all about community, connecting with others and enjoying exercise, and the Palooza events embody just that.”

Pedego was founded in 2008 by Don DiCostanzo.
