Bike 5 Cities

About: Bike 5 Cities Ride is a 28-mile regional bike-ride that advances equity through better transportation options; improves safety by teaching people of all abilities and ages how to use routes safely; enhances local economies by bringing bike “traffic” to businesses; and builds public support for connecting bike routes throughout Central Florida.

The event is also unique by offering guided small group rides or self-guided rides with staggered start times for social-distancing. Plus, we’ve added a short, family-friendly ride this year for the younger riders and families. COVID-19 safety precautions will be observed again this year.

Want to volunteer?

Bike 5 Cities will need plenty of volunteers leading up to, and during the event. We need people to help organize and deliver registration materials, help mark the course, pass out shirts to riders, and be a ride leader or ride marshal.

Be a Ride Leader!

Are you an experienced cyclist familiar with riding on Central Florida roads? Do you enjoy sharing your love of bicycling with others? Then Bike 5 Cities needs you! This year’s Bike 5 Cities will need more Ride Leaders due to the new COVID safe format with small groups of no more than ten riders” to “no more than 15 riders.

Each group will be accompanied by a volunteer Ride Leader (that could be you!). The Ride Leader will escort the small group along the entire 28-mile route. Ride Leaders will preview the course with our Bike 5 Cities director before October 30th to ensure they are familiar with the course. Please contact Lisa Portelli at lisa@bikewalkcf.org if you are interested in volunteering as a Ride Leader.

We need you. Contact us at Bike5Cities@bikewalkcf.org.

This is a Rain or Shine event. No refunds or transfers.

The safety of our participants and volunteers is our most important concern and if any of the threatening weather conditions are present the day of the event (tornado warning, tornado watch, thunderstorm, heavy rain or a hurricane decides to visit), the event may be delayed or canceled.

When weather conditions or other physical conditions present a danger to participants, such conditions fall under the label “acts of mother nature,” it will not result in refunding of any event entry fees or future event credits, since funds were already spent in preparation for your event day.
