First Friday Bike Rides are family-friendly bike rides for people of all ages and abilities. We celebrate every first Friday, all year long, Ashland’s future where it is safe, convenient and efficient to bicycle for short in-town trips from anywhere to everywhere. Join us for a fun and short bike ride in and around town.

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.

In King Richard’s absence, the Sheriff of Nottingham seizes control, squeezing the people of England for every last coin. But in the shadows of Sherwood Forest, a different kind of legend is taking shape…

Enter Robin Hood—daring, quick-witted, and impossible to catch—and Maid Marian, brilliant, bold, and every bit his equal. Together with their band of merry outlaws, they ignite a high-spirited rebellion where sword fights flash, disguises deceive, and justice has never been this much fun.

Ballet Fantastique’s Robin Hood & Maid Marian is a swashbuckling, joy-filled adventure bursting with humor, romance, and heart—where heroes don’t just fight for what’s right… they love every minute of it.
