What: Bike Pensacola’s May Slow Ride

Where: Ride More Bicycles, 59 E. Gregory St., Pensacola

When: Friday May 10, 2024 at 6:00 pm

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 May our host and sponsor is Ride More Bicycles, a downtown Pensacola bicycle shop that opened in 2015 and does business at their iconic corner storefront at Gregory and Tarragona St. Ride More offers new bicycles and accessories for sale, along with a full suite of services to include tune ups, suspension services, electronic support, bike assembly and more. They also host group rides every Tuesday and Saturday.

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 ages 10 - 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and 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. And 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
