BikeDFW

Today was one of those days that reminds you exactly why this work matters.

Thousands of people came through Dallas Bike Ride packet pick up today, and woven through all the excitement, jerseys, and nervous energy were so many first-time riders. Some hadn’t been on a bike in years. Some were riding with family for the first time. Some quietly admitted they were scared. And some just needed someone to look them in the eye and say, “You can do this.”

So that’s what we did. 💙

We rang the cowbell for first-time riders.
We answered questions.
We shared encouragement, tips, sunscreen, electrolytes, and a whole lot of reassurance.

And honestly? The joy in that space was contagious.

One of the most beautiful things about today was seeing so many different groups, shops, advocates, organizations, and community partners all showing up together around the simple idea that bikes can bring people together. That matters. A lot.

Tomorrow, more than 5,000 riders will roll through Dallas. Some fast. Some slow. Some experienced. Some terrified. Some absolutely glowing with pride by the finish line.

And every single one of them belongs here.

Come see us at the finish festival tomorrow, ring the bell if it’s your first Dallas Bike Ride, snap a photo at our selfie station, and tell us what would help you ride more often. 🚲

We cannot wait to cheer you on. 💙

This Saturday, thousands of riders will take to the streets for the Dallas Bike Ride — and there is truly nothing quite like seeing our city from the seat of a bike.

No cars.
No rush.
Just people, community, music, skyline views, and the freedom of riding through the heart of Dallas together. ❤️

Whether you’re riding the full route or the 13-mile option, this is your reminder to:
✔️ Pick up your packet Friday at The Shed at Dallas Farmers Market (11am–7pm)
✔️ Check the maps and plan your route to the start line
✔️ Charge your lights
✔️ Fill those water bottles
✔️ Bring your friends and your best Ride Kind energy

And make sure to come see BikeDFW at packet pickup AND at the ride! We’ll have:

✨ first-time rider tips
✨ fun swag

This ride changes people. It gives folks the chance to experience Dallas differently — not through a windshield, but at human speed. And once you see the city that way, it stays with you.
Let’s roll, Dallas. 🚴‍♀️🚴🚴‍♂️
