No Spandex Required Ride

Join us every Thursday evening for a beginner-friendly, 4-10 mile group bike ride that highlights how the Indianapolis Cultural Trail serves as the hub of Indianapolis' trail network. Every week, we explore different greenways, destinations and neighborhoods that are accessible by bicycle from the Cultural Trail and the Pacers Bikeshare network. In addition to the bike ride, we will also make a stop at a local brewery along the way to rest, enjoy an optional drink, and socialize with fellow riders.

Bring your own bike or hop on one of our limited Pacers Bikeshare bikes. The ride is FREE, but donations are always welcome. Registration is required as space is limited.

Biking Options
Bring your own bike or use a Pacers Bikeshare bike. We will have a limited number of free Pacers Bikeshare bike for each ride. Those wanting a Pacers Bikeshare must register for one ahead of time on Eventbrite, be 18 years old, and sign the additional waiver. Helmets for riders are highly encouraged, so bring your own or borrow one of ours.

Unable to ride or not comfortable on a traditional two-wheel bike? Pacers Bikeshare offers a variety of adaptable bikes that can be reserved. However, reservations for an adapable bike must be complete 48 hours in advance of ride.
