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  group 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 Pacers Bikeshare bike for each ride. Pacers Bikeshare is complimentary for Annual, IndyRides Free, and Butler, members, and available to rental for non-members for $25.
