Bike Pensacola's May Slow Ride
Schedule
Fri May 10 2024 at 06:00 pm to 07:30 pm
UTC-05:00Location
Ride More Bicycles | Pensacola, FL
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. 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.
