Get your spokes spinning with Mayor Tommy Battle at the 16th annual Mayor’s Bike Ride.
This year’s event will be held on Saturday, May 3, at 11 a.m. in Big Spring Park.
“It’s exciting to see this ride in its 16th year,” said Mayor Tommy Battle. “Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just out for a good time with the family, we’d love to have you ride along with us.”
As part of Mayor Battle’s Healthy Huntsville initiative, the family-friendly, 4-mile bike ride through downtown Huntsville promotes wellness through exercise and nutrition. The event coincides with Bike Safety Month and the Cove Bike Rodeo, highlighting the City’s ongoing commitment to enhancing multimodal transportation and rider safety.
“Spring is a great time to hop on a bike and enjoy the fresh air,” said Kevin Ready, Healthy Huntsville Coordinator. “Biking isn’t just good for your health—it’s also a fun, sustainable way to connect with your community and explore the city.”
Those who wish to ride with Mayor Battle should arrive by 10:30 a.m. for check-in and registration. Free parking is available at the VBC parking garage entrance on Church Street. Bike vendors will be on-site with information about year-round activities and cycling products.
The Huntsville Police Department’s Bike Unit will lead the ride. Helmets are required for all riders.
