Our second largest program is our ongoing bicycle rides, including the moonlight garden ride, matt's moon river cruise, tweed ride and seersucker ride, which are family-friendly community rides that foster a sense of safety while riding in savannah. Our third largest program is educaton classes for children and adults.
