From CITY OF BOWLING GREEN
The City of Bowling Green Bicycle Safety Commission invites the community to its July Bike BG Slow Roll on Sunday, July 19, at 2 p.m. Participants should meet at the Veterans Building parking lot in City Park for a leisurely, family-friendly ride that combines summer traditions with Bowling Green’s America 250 celebration. Riders will enjoy a guided tour of the historic Wood County Courthouse, led by Wood County Common Pleas Judge Matthew Reger, followed by complimentary ice cream from Sundae Station and a free one-day pass to the city pool for each participant.
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.
Questions about the ride should be directed to the city’s assistant administrator/communications director by phone at 419-354-6222 or by email at agamby@bgohio.gov.
