Dozens of people pedaled the Uptown District in Cedar Rapids on Saturday.

Those along for the ride rode from restaurant to restaurant, or bar to bar, to enjoy some delicious food and drink specials.

The bike ride comes just as the Uptown District recently installed 12 new bike racks in three locations that support 24 bicyucles.
