No Spandex Require Ride
September 12 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
The Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene and Marilyn Glick serves as the downtown hub for the central Indiana greenway network. The No Spandex Required rides will highlight the connections between the Cultural Trail and other trails and greenways, introducing you to the many destinations that are accessible by bike from the Cultural Trail and the Pacers Bikeshare network. We will make a quick pit stop at a brewery along the way.
Each Thursday at 5:30 PM, we’ll depart from the Indianapolis Cultural Trail Headquarters on a 7-10 mile beginner-friendly ride. In addition to the ride, we’ll briefly stop at one local brewery or beverage location along the route, where participants will be able to rest, socialize with bike-minded people, and enjoy a quick drink should they choose. Bring your own bike or hop on a Pacers Bikeshare e-bike.
The ride is FREE, but donations to the Cultural Trail are always welcome. Registration is required as space is limited.
Biking Options
Bring your own bike or use a new Pacers Bikeshare e-bike. We will have a limited number of free Pacers Bikeshare e-Bikes for each ride. Those wanting a Pacers Bikeshare must register for one ahead of time on Eventbrite and sign an 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 ahead of time.
