Bikes and Bakeries Ride

Explore the Indianapolis Cultural Trail and some of the city’s best bakeries on this fun monthly group bike ride. Join us on this beginner-friendly ride as we pedal 4–10 miles along the Indianapolis Cultural Trail and show how it connects to other trails and greenways, stopping at a different local bakery each month to rest, mingle, and (optionally) indulge in a sweet treat. It’s the perfect recipe to kick off your weekend: bikes, bites, and meeting new friends along the Cultural Trail!

Bring your own bike or hop on one of our limited Pacers Bikeshare bikes. The ride is FREE, but donations are always welcome. Registration is required as space is limited.

Biking Options
Bring your own bike or use a Pacers Bikeshare bike. We will have a limited number of free Pacers Bikeshare bike for each ride. Those wanting a Pacers Bikeshare must register for one ahead of time on Eventbrite, be 18 years old, and sign the additional waiver. Helmets for riders are highly encouraged, so bring your own or borrow one of ours.

Unable to ride or not comfortable on a traditional two-wheel bike? Pacers Bikeshare offers a variety of adaptable bikes that can be reserved. However, reservations for an adapable bike must be complete 48 hours in advance of ride.
