From CITY OF BOWLING GREEN
The City of Bowling Green Bicycle Safety Commission will continue its series of community bike rides during the month of August. This month’s slow roll, titled “Bikers and Brewers,” will meet on Sunday, Aug. 31, at 1 p.m. Participants should meet at Arlyn’s Good Beer, 520 Hankey Ave.
This leisurely ride will include stops at local breweries: Arlyn’s, Brewing Green, and Juniper. Riders will have the opportunity to meet the owners/brewers and learn more about their craft. Upon completion of the ride, participants are invited to stay around for comradery.
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 to be fun and explorative, the 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.
