Bike Pensacola’s June Slow Ride
June 14, 2019 @ 6:00 PM - 7:30 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 June our host and sponsor is West Florida Public Libraries (WFPL), a regional organization that offers so much to our community, from reading clubs and STEAM activities to a summer feeding program for kids. The WFPL is truly a community gem!
We will ride through parts of downtown and Belmont Devilliers this month. Following the Ride there will be a party with food, kid’s activities, and more.
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.
A few more things:
–no dogs or other pets–they’re not covered by our insurance
–bicycles only please, and only self-propelled or electric-assist; trikes are fine; elliptigos are fine;
–no bicycles with training wheels
–no Segways, skateboards, scooters, or gasoline-powered motorized bicycles; again, bicycles only
–no alcohol consumption during the Ride
–please make certain that both you and your bicycle are healthy and well-maintained so that you can safely ride about six miles. Please do not attempt the Ride if you cannot ride six miles at 6 mph.
