What: Bike Pensacola’s May Slow Ride

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

When: Friday May 10 6 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.

The Handlebar Hosts Spring Vintage Market May 4

Pensacola, FL — On Sunday, May 4, The Handlebar is transforming into a vintage lover’s
paradise with its seasonal Vintage Market, presented in collaboration with Pensacola Vintage
Collective. From 1PM-6PM, the beloved downtown venue will be packed with dozens of local
vendors offering vintage clothing, handmade goods, records, home décor, and more — all set to

This spring’s market continues to build on the momentum of previous events, which have drawn
hundreds of shoppers and collectors from across the Gulf Coast. The Handlebar’s
indoor-outdoor space will feature food trucks, cold drinks, photo ops, and a chill,
community-centered atmosphere — perfect for browsing racks and catching up with friends.
To keep the energy going into the evening, The Handlebar invites market-goers and music fans
alike to stick around for a ticketed after-party show featuring the electrifying sounds of Toasters,
one of the original American third-wave ska bands founded in 1981. The New York based act is
still touring around the world, filling the dance-floors with ska.

● $15 at the door
● 18+ show

Whether you’re on the hunt for one-of-a-kind threads or looking to dance your Sunday night
away, The Handlebar’s Vintage Market has you covered from sunrise to spotlight.
