City of Venice Casual Bike Ride May 8, 2019 10:00 am - 11:30 am Venice Finance, 401 W Venice Ave, Venice, FL 34285, USA City of Venice Bicycle Pedestrian Coordinator Darlene Culpepper has launched a monthly bicycle ride in the city, open to the public.
A casual, 6-mile ride around the Island of Venice, traveling along the ever-so-popular Venice Island Loop that is highlighted on our bicycle maps. The free ride will take place on the second Wednesday of each month at 10 a.m. There will be a brief safety discussion prior to the ride, as the group will be riding along shared bicycle lanes. Participants will need to bring their own bike and will be required to wear a helmet and sign a short waiver. Bicyclists should meet in the City Hall parking lot at 401 W. Venice Ave. “Riding a bicycle on the road can be a little intimidating,” Culpepper said. “Riding in a group builds confidence and provides motivation and accountability, pushing individuals to their limits so they can improve their skills. Cycling is one of the best ways for people to achieve good health and fitness. So let’s encourage one another to get on that bike and ride!”
