About The Event
Join us for a wonderful 2-hour bike tour of Newport, led by local bikability advocates, Bike Newport! You'll walk to their location at 62 Broadway in Newport (about half an hour from our venue, Bois Doré, and a beautiful walk) and then depart for a two-hour ride, returning in time to walk back to Bois Doré for our opening reception at 5PM.
Newport is home to more colonial buildings than any other city in the US. Together, we'll visit the major sites by bicycle on an easy ride that is informative and fun.
Rhode Island is called the cradle of the "American Soul" and in many ways, Newport was its heart. From its beginning, freedom of religion (heresy to some) and democracy have been cornerstone concepts on which the city was built, and informed America's founding principles.
This history can be experienced and explored on our tour when we visit…
