Monday Night Community Ride: Season Opening Ride Kicking off our 11th year of providing inclusive community experiences that connect people, places and causes by bicycle will NOT be on a Monday – instead we will celebrate the start of the season (and a certain epic space opera media franchise created by George Lucas) on Saturday May the 4th!

Saturday May 4 2024 – Meet at 12: 30pm, ride at 1pm – at The Erie Hills Pedestrian Mall, 80 Erie Street, Buffalo NY 14202.

This unique venue is a relatively unknown, underdeveloped and under-appreciated product of 1970’s urban placemaking, smack-dab in the heart of downtown Buffalo. We’ll be popping the party up right under the Skyway and 190 ramps down there, all in the former footprint of Buffalo’s original primary outdoor recreation and social space, Terrace Park.

Our pivot to a one-time weekend kickoff is an effort to encourage out-of-towners who might not otherwise be available to travel to Buffalo on any given Monday night to join in on the two wheeled enjoyment and connection, increasing overnight stays and bringing business into downtown Buffalo with them. These guests include our friends from Slow Roll Cleveland and Slow Roll Detroit, who will join us for a full weekend of riding, as well as a leadership summit facilitating discussions between all three chapters on future collaborations, best practices and more way to positively impact our communities.

This event is free.
