The Sakonnet Coastal Bike and Stroll

The Sakonnet Coastal Bike & Stroll is your once-a-year chance to embrace the magic of a car-free, family-friendly experience along the striking coastline of Portsmouth, RI!

Enjoy the beauty of Island Park and The Hummocks, outside, on the road, safely and with confidence. Bring your kids, your friends … even your friendly furry friends! You’re free to bike, walk, or use any form of non-motorized transport to enjoy this coastal route.

This unique community event is 100% FREE to attend. Donations of all sizes are encouraged to support the event, and also benefit bike safety education and infrastructure advocacy for all of Aquidneck Island.

We ask that you kindly register through Eventbrite & waive liability for each member of your group. Thank you in advance for including a donation as you’re able. Suggested donation: $10 or more per rider.

You’ll see two ticket types as you register: one to register each person attending, and the other to donate in support of Bike Newport’s programs. Thank you! You do not need to print your tickets.

The Sakonnet Coastal Bike & Stroll is presented by Bike Newport and the Island Park Preservation Society, and organized by a committee of Portsmouth residents and members of the state congressional delegation, in coordination with the Portsmouth Police Department and Department of Public Works.

The 2024 event is made possible by our sponsors, including BankNewport, Island Park Hospitality Group, Rail Explorers, and more sponsors to come.

The route includes Park Ave from just after (east of) Mason Ave, Point Road, Hummock Point Road, and Hummocks Ave through (and including) the railroad overpass at Anthony Rd (at the entrance to Common Fence Point), and also including the separated bike lane crossing the Sakonnet River Bridge. Sunset Cove, located at 706 Park Ave, will serve as the event hub, where at 8:45am we’ll gather to celebrate the start of this fun community event.
