Cycling in Oklahoma City
Best season: March–May, September–October
Oklahoma City’s signature ride is the Oklahoma River Trails — about 13 miles of paved path running both banks of the river from I-35 on the east side to Meridian Avenue on the west, straight through the Boathouse District and past the Wheeler District’s salvaged Santa Monica Pier ferris wheel. The river trails are just the spine: OKC has stitched together nearly 100 miles of connected paved multi-use trail, so you can keep going to Lake Overholser on the west end or link back into downtown.
Renting is easy and central. Ride OKC stages its Priority three-speed city bikes at the Myriad Botanical Gardens downtown, with lock, lights, optional helmet, and roadside assistance included — reserve 48 hours ahead. Spokies, the EMBARK-run bike share, scatters app-unlocked pedal bikes across Midtown, Bricktown, Automobile Alley, and the other core districts for $1 plus 12 cents a minute (riders 18+). Cloud of Goods will even deliver a hybrid or mountain bike straight to your hotel.
Base yourself where the bikes are: the Bradford House, a 1912 boutique property in Uptown, and the Residence Inn in Bricktown both advertise complimentary guest bicycles (confirm when booking — neither program is detailed on the hotels’ own sites). From Bricktown you’re minutes from the river trail; from Uptown you ride historic neighborhoods to Midtown and downtown. Ride OKC’s guided tours — art and architecture, breweries, even a cookie crawl — are the best two-wheeled introduction to the city.
Spring and fall are the sweet spots. If you visit Tuesday evening between spring and fall, detour to the Wheeler Criterium, OKC’s weekly bike-race block party on the river’s south bank; in summer, ride early — the heat and the prairie wind are no joke.
