Residents are invited to bring their bicycles and participate Saturday, November 11, in the first “Community Bike Ride.”

The approximately 3 to 4-mile bicycle tour through downtown Fort Walton Beach and adjacent neighborhoods will promote bike safety, according to the city.

The Fort Walton Beach Police Department and the Downtown Fort Walton Beach organization are hosting Saturday’s event. It coincides with the Fort Walton Beach Farmers’ Market, held Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Ferry Road SE, just north of U.S. Highway 98.

Fort Walton Beach police officers will also be onsite fitting children and adults for free bicycle helmets, provided by a Florida Department of Transportation grant.

The bicycle helmet fitting starts at 8:30 a.m. Saturday. The bike ride kicks off shortly after 9 a.m. at the intersection of First Street SE and Ferry Road SE, where the ride will start and end.

Organizers encourage participants to stay for the Farmers’ Market after the ride.
