February Slow Ride this weekend

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. Meet at Alabama Square, 401 N. Gonzalex St, at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11.

This month our ride theme is “cycle chic,” as riders are encouraged to dress up a bit for the Ride. Our Ride sponsor and host is the North Hill Preservation Association, which works diligently to preserve the historic character of North Hill–one of Pensacola’s most interesting and historic neighborhoods. Following the Ride there will be a party with food and educational exhibits.

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 must be at least 10 years of age to ride their own bicycle, and ages 10 – 16 must be accompanied by an adult. 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. We will enjoy a ride escort by officers of the Pensacola Police Department.
