“We’re thrilled to bring the Dallas Bike Ride back to its roots and offer a unique experience that showcases the city’s beauty and spirit,” Chris Browne, Managing Director of Dallas Bike Ride said. “Our 20-mile car-free inclusive ride brings first-timers, casual bike riders, and avid cyclists from near and far together to foster a strong sense of community, encourage a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, and celebrate the city. This event is more than just a bike ride; it’s a celebration of togetherness, health, and the vibrant culture of Dallas.”
The recreational ride offers a festive atmosphere with snacks, drinks, photo opportunities, and live music along the route as participants pass through historic landmarks and neighborhoods such as Reunion Tower, the JFK Memorial, Bishop Arts District, and the Design District, to name a few.
