Chattanooga is rolling into a weekend of celebration and community connection with two cycling events that promote sustainability, wellness and family-friendly outdoor activity. From morning commutes to imaginative youth adventures, the city invites residents to embrace bicycling as part of a healthier, more connected lifestyle.
National Bike to Work Day – this Friday at Miller Park
Downtown Chattanooga will come alive on Friday morning with the annual National Bike to Work Day event at Miller Park.
Held from 7-9 a.m., this celebration encourages commuters of all levels to enjoy the benefits of cycling to work, improving personal health, reducing congestion and fostering environmental responsibility.
Participants can expect a lively atmosphere featuring:
? Group rides and convoys into the downtown area;
? Free coffee and breakfast snacks for cyclists;
? Complimentary bike tune-ups and safety checks;
? Local vendor booths and prize drawings; and
? Opportunities to meet city staff and transportation advocates.
Whether a seasoned rider or first-time participant, attendees will find an inclusive space to connect, learn and ride together in support of a more active Chattanooga.
- Youth Bicycle Regatta – this Saturday at Renaissance Park
The weekend continues on Saturday at Renaissance Park with the Youth Bicycle Regatta, a playful and engaging event designed for children aged 12 and under. Running from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., the regatta introduces young riders to the joy of bicycling through a series of games, challenges and creative activities, all without the competitive atmosphere typically associated with bike races.
Inspired by the traditional concept of a regatta, often linked to rowing or sailing, the event offers a non-competitive environment where youth can explore outdoor adventure, develop bike-handling skills and experience the fun of group participation. Families are encouraged to attend, cheer on young cyclists and enjoy a morning filled with energy, imagination and movement.
Officials said, "Together, these two events reflect Chattanooga’s ongoing efforts to promote cycling as a tool for
wellness, sustainability and community engagement. Residents of all ages are invited to participate, celebrate and help build a more bike-friendly city.
