Promoted by the League of American Bicyclists and celebrated in communities from coast to coast, May is National Bike Month! Did you know it was established in 1956?
Here at Jaclyn Smith Properties, we are all about promoting an active lifestyle and it couldn’t come at a better time!
Biking gives us an opportunity to escape our homes during the current pandemic. Many local JOCO riders are hitting the Mountains to the Sea Trail for their escape.
Bike Trails in Your Backyard!
This is an extra special perk for residents who live in the Riverwood Athletic communities of Alpine Valley, Badger Pass, Ravens Ridge, as well as the Ashcroft community and LionsGate! All of these Clayton communities are located along the Mountain to the Sea Trail.
This section of the Mountains to the Sea Trail located in Clayton is commonly called the Clayton River Walk. Much of it follows along the Neuse River making it a beautiful scenic ride!
Clayton, Smithfield and its surrounding Johnston County towns all provide some amazing outlets to stay active on two wheels. Even in the midst of our current quarantine.
Clayton Business Spotlight
Speaking of our quarantine, did you know bike sales and bike repairs are surging during our stay at home order? Because more people are now spending more time outdoors as a result of the pandemic many of us are biking more.
With more residents pulling out their bikes many are finding it’s in need of repairs or a tune-up. A quick call to Fat Johnny’s Bike Repair on Main Street in downtown Clayton revealed his business is up 30-40% above normal.
