Event Brings The Ultimate “Cruise At Your Own Pace” 20-Mile Bike Ride
DALLAS, TX – February 5, 2025 – Dallas Bike Ride makes its highly anticipated return on Saturday, May 17, 2025, with a start time of 8:00 a.m. Back by popular demand, this event promises a fun-filled and family-friendly celebration of cycling and community. With an expected turnout of 4,000 riders, the event invites participants of all ages and abilities to cruise at their own pace past some of Dallas’ most iconic landmarks.
Dallas Bike Ride is bringing back the excitement and success it has inspired in other cities, like Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. The event helps advance local bicycling advocacy by partnering with the Dallas Bicycle Coalition and Bike DFW, organizations dedicated to fostering a healthier and more connected city. A portion of proceeds from the ride will support these groups in their mission to make bicycling safer and more accessible for all. The event is proudly supported by the City of Dallas, the Dallas Sports Commission, Downtown Dallas Inc., and Uptown Dallas Inc., whose collective efforts make this celebration possible.
“We’re thrilled to bring the Dallas Bike Ride back to its roots and offer a unique experience that showcases the city’s beauty and spirit,” said Chris Browne, Managing Director of Dallas Bike Ride. “Our 20-mile car-free inclusive ride brings first-timers, casual bike riders, and avid cyclists from near and far together to foster a strong sense of community, encourage a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, and celebrate the city. This event is more than just a bike ride; it’s a celebration of togetherness, health, and the vibrant culture of Dallas.”
The recreational ride offers a festive atmosphere with snacks, drinks, photo opportunities and live music along the route as participants pass through historic landmarks and neighborhoods such as Reunion Tower, the JFK Memorial, Bishop Arts District, and the Design District, to name a few. Riders will enjoy a 20-mile car-free course that culminates at City Hall with the Methodist Dallas Finish Festival, featuring live music, a beer garden, food trucks, and family-friendly fun.
“We are honored to partner with the Dallas Bike Ride as the Celebration Partner, hosting the Finish Festival at City Hall,” said John Phillips, FACHE, President of Methodist Dallas Medical Center. “This event aligns with our mission to promote health and wellness in our community, and we’re excited to celebrate with riders of all ages as they experience the joy of cycling through our vibrant city.”
Before the May 17 event, attendees are invited to join the Packet Pickup Party on Friday, May 16, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.. The celebration includes entertainment, refreshments, and exclusive offerings from Dallas Bike Ride partners. Riders will also have the chance to get a free bike safety check and gear up at the Official Dallas Bike Ride Merch Shop. Check out the complete weekend schedule of events here.
