What’s a Slow Roll?
It’s not a race — it’s a movement. A Slow Roll is a fun, social group bike ride that’s all about taking it easy, enjoying the ride, and connecting with others. These rides have gained popularity across North America for their inclusive, no-pressure vibe — no spandex or fancy gear required. Just bring your bike, your good energy, and a few friends and family!
About the BIG Slow Roll
Hosted by the Bluewater Cycling Organization (BCO) and powered by local volunteers, the BIG Slow Roll is a free, 10 km community ride that promotes cycling culture throughout Sarnia-Lambton. More than just a ride, it’s part of a broader vision to support health, sustainability and Sarnia’s growing identity as a bike-friendly city.
Who Can Join?
Everyone! Whether you’re young or young at heart, a seasoned cyclist or just dusting off your bike for the first time in years — you’re welcome. All types of bikes and all levels of experience are encouraged. A dedicated volunteer team will help keep the ride safe, smooth, and social for everyone.
