JP Centre South Main Streets on Instagram: "Sage the City - Saturday, May 2 Sage the City is a community bike ride and movement dedicated to uplifting the small businesses that make our neighborhoods real. Riders will move through the city together, stopping along a route of independent bike shops, bookstores, vintage stores, and other mom-and-pop retailers. Along the way, participants will burn sage as a symbolic act β clearing space for stronger local economies, deeper community, and a city that supports the people who actually live and work here. You can start from any pin on the map β whichever location is closest to you β and join the flow of riders as the day unfolds."
