Join Streets for Everyone for the First Friday Bike Ride (FFBR) each month. This fun, family-friendly ride is a great way to meet and talk with other community-minded bicyclists.

5:00 pm – Meet on the Plaza in downtown Ashland.
6:00 pm – Finish right back where we started on the Plaza.

These bike rides happen wind, rain, or shine except when the air quality index, AQI, is at or above 100. We give free Bicycle Benefits stickers to all FFBR riders. They are good for discounts at a growing list of local businesses.

Parents: We ride on streets downtown, so if your child is learning (wobbly and unsteady), we suggest they ride with you on the back of your bike.
