New bike track to be built in Arlington
A new public bike track will be built in Arlington thanks to fundraising efforts by the local Rotary Club, a press release said.
The Arlington Rotary Club has been working with the city and Arlington’s Parks and Recreation Commission for five years to make a bicycle pump track a reality at Jensen Park, off of Jensen Farm Lane just east of Highway 9 and south of East Highland Drive, city spokesperson Mandy Kruger said in an email.
A bicycle pump track is a looped course made with small hills and banked turns, designed so riders can maintain speed by “pumping” their bikes, shifting their body weight up and down, with little or no pedaling.
The asphalt track will cover 14,000 square feet, the release said. Construction is expected to begin in June, with the projected grand opening on July 20, International Mountain Biking Day.
