Join Bike Pensacola for the most popular bike ride in town—the Slow Ride! Each month we explore the quiet, scenic streets of Pensacola's many historic neighborhoods for a fun and leisurely ride among friends.

For July our host is the City of Pensacola and the Slow Ride is part of “Party in the Park." The Party is a series of events at Hollice T. Williams Park to receive public input to inform the Park's Equitable Development Framework Plan (Equity Plan). The Equity Plan will consist of 5-8 community driven values or principles that promote equitable and just development practices in and around the park.

The community engagement will include taking a short survey and interacting with three project boards both before and after the Ride. Additionally, Geosyntec, the Hollice T. Williams Stormwater Park Design Consultant, will be present to take any feedback about the park design process.

And there will be food trucks to help feed us!! Plus, the Skatepark is hosting a skate game and will have a live DJ for entertainment. Fun fun fun!
Because most cyclists are “self taught,” each month we offer information about bicycle laws, safety tips, and addressing different bicycling skills that will help keep rides safe and enjoyable. There is no charge for the ride and no registration required.

The ride will be about one hour and ten minutes long, at a casual pace. Nobody will be “dropped” or left behind. Children ages 10 - 16 must be accompanied by an adult; no kids under 10 on their own bicycle. Cyclists under 16 must wear a helmet by law; ages 16 and up helmets are recommended but are not required by law. And we will enjoy a ride escort by officers of the Pensacola Police Department.
