The City of Bowling Green’s second slow roll bike ride for 2024, titled Ride Beside Me – Books and Bikes, will be held June 26.
The ride is in partnership with the Wood County District Public Library in celebration of the Summer Reading Program: Adventure Begins at Your Library. This ride will begin and end in the library parking lot at 6 p.m. The storybook themed ride will feature Lucy Knisley’s book, “Ride Beside Me,” read by Maria Simon.
Rides are free, family-friendly, and open to everyone. Each rider is required to wear a properly fitted helmet and ride a correctly sized bicycle in safe, working mechanical order. It is highly recommended that young riders, not able to travel on their own, participate via a tow behind trailer or child bike seat. These rides are meant to be more recreational in nature and will travel at a speed comfortable for all riders.
While designed for fun and exploration, monthly rides will also stress the importance of safe riding practices and responsibilities of riders while navigating city streets. Multiple trained leaders will facilitate the ride to ensure that all riders complete the route, including providing assistance for mechanical or personal issues that may arise.
Questions about this ride should be directed to the city’s communication director by phone at 419-354-6222 or by email at [email protected].
