Glide Rides

The Annual Glide Ride, is a fun and energizing bike ride through the heart of Memphis. Hosted by The Works, this event takes cyclists on a scenic route from South Memphis to some of the city's most iconic landmarks. Whether you're a seasoned rider or just looking to enjoy a leisurely ride, this event is the perfect way to get moving, explore local gems, and enjoy the vibrant Memphis community. 

​

The South Memphis Glide Rides are back! Starting April 4th - April 25th, join us at the South Memphis Farmers Market every Saturday for another series of rides.

 

Attendees should be able to ride for about an hour at an easy pace. All children MUST be accompanied by an adult.

​

Guests should arrive by 10:15 a.m. to borrow a bike, and air up the tires if needed. If you have your own bike, please bring it with you. We will have some adult-sized bicycles available to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis. Rides roll out promptly at 10:30 a.m.

​

Please remember that you ride at your own risk. While we generally recommend the use of helmets, they are legally required only for persons aged 16 and under. Ride participants are expected to follow all applicable traffic laws.
