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 November we have a very special Ride called the Panhandle Manatee Slow Ride—dedicated to the life of Jessica Bibza and her work to protect manatees and other marine life. This Ride is sponsored by the Pensacola and Perdido Bays Estuary Program, and there will be educational exhibits about manatees and local waterways. While the Ride is free, donations are requested to help support the local manatee outreach work that Jessica began and that was so important to her. Donations may be made at:

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

For much more information about the Slow Ride please visit Bike Pensacola on Facebook or call 850-687-9968 or bike@pensacolacan.org
