Slow Roll Buffalo Bike Ride

Watch for the Slow Roll Buffalo bicycle ride scheduled to pass through the Hamlin Park neighborhood tonight, Monday, August 29 from approximately 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.  The group will ride along major streets including Main Street and Kensington.

The ride will have a Buffalo Police Department escort and will stop car traffic at intersections to allow the riders to pass. This can take 10-15 minutes. Drivers will be guided to alternate routes.

Slow Roll is a group bicycle ride (over 1,000 participants) that meets every Monday night and has expanded into a Global network of community rides. Each week the group takes a unique route throughout the city.

Slow Roll is for everyone – all ages, all skill levels and every type of bike. The group’s slow pace keeps everyone safe and gives riders a unique perspective of the city and its neighborhoods. To join Slow Roll Buffalo, contact Robert Brandon, Slow Roll Outreach at rbrandon@buffalo.edu.
