The City of Bowling Green’s next slow roll bike ride, titled Local Gems, will be held June 15 at 2 p.m. in partnership with the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure (GOBA) event.
Meet at the Home and Garden Building located on the Wood County Fairgrounds and join us as we show off a few of our local gems to our guest riders. After the ride, you’ll want to stick around for the Bike Parade and GOBA Kickoff Celebration being held at the Wooster Green.
You do not have to be registered with GOBA to participate. 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, who are still learning to ride, 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.
To register for monthly rides, please visit www.bgohio.org/bike-bg/ or call 419-354-6222.
