Biking in the Blackstone Valley is more than recreation – Join us and learn about Rhode Island's historic Blackstone River Valley. Residents and visitors can enjoy a fun and relaxing way to experience the heritage, culture, nature and recreation of the Valley, with Blackstone Valley Leisurely Bicycle Tours.

This tour lasts 4 hours, but no need to worry – we ride at a very leisurely pace, stop often and is appropriate for all fitness levels. We peddle through four Blackstone Valley communities and talk about the history, culture, manufacturing and little known facts and stories while riding through charming back streets.

We’ll visit:

Top of Narragansett Bay • Pawtucket River • Blackstone River • Blackstone Canal • Rhody Rug • The Colonial Bakery • Kelly House Museum • Blackstone Bikeway • Central Falls Provisions • Pawtucket Visitor Center • Blackstone River State Park Visitor Center • Hydropower in Action • King Phillips War Battle Site • Cherry Tree Lane • RI’s Cultural Mile • 13ft Tall Tomahawk • Oldest Brick Mill in America
