Bike Ride for Moravian World Heritage Celebration

A short and sweet bike ride through Bethlehem's new Historic Moravian World Heritage Site.

This is a short 2.5 mile bike ride with an emphasis on a casual cruise around the Moravian sites in downtown Bethlehem built between 1750-1834, including: Historic Main Street, the Colonial Industrial Quarter, Single Sisters' House, Grist Miller’s House, Luckenbach Mill, Tannery, and Goundie House.

This special ride will start at Bethlehem City Hall/Library, will be on mostly quiet streets, trails, and streets that are closed to traffic for the big event - the Moravian World Heritage Site Celebration that starts after the ride at the Moravian Central Church.

Ride will travel an average of 8-10mph and is a no-drop ride, welcoming ages 12 to adult. Surface is mostly pavement with some gravel sections, and hills which can be ridden or walked.
