Slow Rolls:

Community Bike Rides for Everyone

Community Slow Rolls with Norte in Traverse City and Elk Rapids

Nothing brings people together like a bike ride. Slow Rolls are our free community bike rides designed to provide a fun, social experience on two wheels. Show up, slow down, and explore your community at an entirely new pace. These family bike rides are typically just a few miles along a safe, flat route.


We thank our 2025 title sponsors, Oryana Food Coop (Traverse City) and Short’s Brewing Co. (Elk Rapids), and supporting sponsor, The Little Fleet, for helping us come together for the 2025 season.
