Slow Rolls are our free community bike rides designed to provide a fun, social experience on two wheels. Show up, slow down, and explore your community at an entirely new pace.

These family bike rides are typically just a few miles along a safe, flat route. All ages are welcome. We will begin at Oryana and end at The Little Fleet.

At Norte Youth Cycling, we believe everyone should be able to experience the joy and freedom of bike riding, regardless of their abilities. That's why we've created the Bikes for All program, which provides hands-on education and training to help individuals ride confidently.

We offer adaptive bikes specially modified to accommodate individuals with special needs, disabilities, or mobility challenges, so that everyone can enjoy the thrill of riding.
