The City of Bowling Green Bicycle Safety Commission’s community bike ride/slow roll, titled “Just Chillin’,” is planned for Sunday, July 27, at 2 pm. Participants are to meet at the Veterans Building parking lot in City Park, located at 520 Conneaut Ave. This leisurely ride will include a stop for ice cream courtesy of Sundae Station. Upon completion of the ride, all riders will receive a free, one-day pass to the city pool.
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 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 Communications Director by phone at 419-354-6222 or by email at agamby@bgohio.org.
