About the event
We'll stay on the east side for the seventeenth week of our always free, always inclusive social bike rides, heading to the Buckeye-Shaker/Union-Miles border to start from Luke Easter Park.
Formerly known as Woodland Hills Park, the sprawling greenspace -- the largest urban park in Ohio -- was renamed in 1980 in honor of former Cleveland Indians slugger Luscious "Luke" Easter, who became a fan favorite in his short career in the big leagues, known for his prodigiously long home runs. The Zelma Watson-George Recreation Center, near our ride's starting point, includes a roller rink, gym, track, and basketball courts inside its year-round roof.
We start our ride at 7 PM as is usual, but you can meet up with us any time after 6 PM for t-shirt sales and help with registration (which can also be done by simply visiting slowrollcleveland.org and looking for the "Click Here to Register for 2024" button.)
Anyone who was with us in Opportunity Corridor will agree that we are definitely losing the battle with the light these days. PLEASE light your bikes! It makes everybody safer, it makes you seen, and frankly it just looks cool.
At the same time, please check your bike's condition before you leave the house. Our riders have been doing a great job keeping tires inflated lately. Let's keep it up! Nobody wants to change a tire in the dark.
