Henderson is rolling out another series of bicycle-friendly events from the Bike Swap & Ride to the Stroll ‘n Roll.

103 Hot Pilates & Yoga plans to introduce a Yoga by the Glass class on the 13th of each month that will infuse wine and yoga. Manager ErikaRae Theobald-Grant said the wine will help class participants loosen up.

Despite a slight increase in traffic last year — 6.3 million visitors in 2013 — Lake Mead National Recreation Area dropped to sixth on the list of the most visited national park sites.

Coach Jake Mazone and his running team are always racing, whether it’s carpooling around town, practicing at local parks or competing in long-distance runs. Their fast-paced lifestyle allows them to focus on one common goal: the 2016 Olympics.

Whether it is to stroll down the street on Rollerblades or bicycles, walk the pavement or even roll around in a giant hamster ball, the city of Henderson is opening up the path for all residents to experience a car-free Henderson for a day Nov. 9. Its inaugural Stroll ’n Roll — a spin on the Ciclovia event, which originated in Bogota, Colombia — invites residents to take to the streets. “We were looking at what type of events could get people out to participate in fun and healthy activities,” said Mary Ellen Donner, the director of the city of Henderson’s parks and recreation department who is helping to organize Stroll ’n Roll.

The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada has been given the green light, or the green lane rather, to create a network of green bicycle lanes and related signs on various downtown roadways. These include First, Third and Sixth streets; and Hoover, Gass, Garces, Bonneville, Clark, Bridger and Ogden avenues.
