The Bancroft Bayliss Loop bicycle rides begin at 10:00 a.m. every Saturday starting May 22, 2010!


The Bancroft Bayliss Loop (BBL) is a community forming bicycle ride and cultural exchange engaging artists and cyclists between the Bancroft Market in Omaha Nebraska and the Bayliss area of downtown Council Bluffs Iowa.

Each Saturday starting May 15, 2010, artists and cyclists gather at the Bancroft Street Market to depart on a ride of the BBL. The ride, roughly 12 miles, travels a route that explores the Omaha riverfront, the Bob Kerry Pedestrian Bridge, a beautiful natural landscape along the Missouri River, historic downtown Council Bluffs and many friendly residential neighborhoods on both sides of the river.

Midway through the ride, we stop at Bayliss Park in downtown Council Bluffs, Iowa to picnic, or eat lunch at the Bayliss Bistro, a coffee shop and deli, or La Carreta Rosa , a great mexican restaurant.
