WHAT IS SLOW ROLL?

Registration opens at 5:30pm, meetup commences at 6:30pm, and we ride out promptly at7:30pm unless otherwise indicated for special events.

How many miles/how long is a Slow Roll ride? 
We usually ride about 10-12 miles and at 8-10mph, it takes us about 1.5hrs

( Note - Slow Roll does not require helmets which I think is scary....please wear one! )

Slow Roll is a group bicycle ride that meets every Monday night in Detroit and has expanded into a national network of community rides. Each week we meet at different venues and take a unique route throughout the city, including all the major and minor neighborhoods that we are so proud of.

Slow Roll is for everyone; all ages, all skill levels and every type of bike is welcome. Our slow pace keeps the group safe and gives riders a unique perspective of our great city and its neighborhoods. 

Now in the a 6th Season, Slow Roll is operated by Detroit Bike City, Inc., a non-profit corporation. We have worked hard to continue with the spirit of Slow Roll and to create a membership program that will help to ensure the ride and its future in Detroit and beyond. With the great partnership that has developed with the City of Detroit and the Detroit Police Department, Season six is set to be a great one. Some new venues, new routes, old favorites, and a police escort to keep us safe and rolling!

Slow Roll is Michigan's largest weekly bike ride, and now with 3000+ riders each week and Slow Rolls popping up across the country and around the globe, we are becoming the largest weekly bike ride in the WORLD. An amazing and diverse group joins us from all over Southeast Michigan and beyond, creating what we consider one of the greatest gatherings of all time.

The positive energy and community driven atmosphere is what keeps people coming back and sharing the Slow Roll experience with their friends and family!
