Bike With Mike 2025

🚴 Join us for the 5th annual community bike ride / walk celebration and fundraiser with the mission of bringing awareness to Omaha's local mental health resources. In honor of Mike Kutilek.

😇 All proceeds from this event will directly support the integrated mental health outpatient services provided by Community Alliance in Omaha.

Over the past four years we have raised over $800,000 and drew over 1800 registrants! Help us surpass $1 MILLION in total donations this year!

🕙 The bike ride will start at the Wabash Trace trailhead at 10am (registration open at 9am), June 7th, and will go 20 total miles to and from Tobey Jack's Steakhouse in Mineola, IA. Bike ride is estimated between 45 to 90 mins. Walkers can drive to Mineola and walk as much of the trail as they please.

🌮 At approximately11:30 am at Tobey Jack's restaurant in Minsaeola, we will serve lunch and have a brief program.

❤️ ABOUT Bike with Mike

Mike Kutilek was an outgoing and healthy young man who enjoyed a number of outdoor activities, but he especially loved biking. He learned to ride a bike very early at age 3, and it just kept growing into long bike rides with friends on trails like the Wabash Trace. Mike especially loved the popular Wabash Trace "Taco Ride" on Thursday nights with friends and family.

In Mike's late twenties he manifested mental illness and eventually passed away in May of 2020 at age 29. The Kutilek family experienced the hardships of dealing with mental illness for a loved one, and the need for mental health resources in the Omaha community. The family is organizing an event in Mike's honor that raises awareness and funds to help support Community Alliance, a local mental health organization that is having a significant impact in the community.

👨‍👩 Our community needs your support more than ever. So on June 7th let's bike, walk, laugh, and eat tacos together!! 🚴🌮😄
