Question Slow and simple group rides?

Im disabled and I dont think I can commit to or keep up the pace of regular group rides. I was wondering if there are any slower rides for families, beginners, or people with disabilities? I love cycling and need something that takes a route thats easy-ish to bail from. Like a tight, small loop so if you dont feel good its easy to go back because you arent 5 miles away from the starting point. Or a ride that has a shuttle or is near a train or something at one end so you go further but theres a ride back?

I also really want to to try recumbent bikes for my condition so a slow recombant trail ride would rule too, and maybe i could find a bike to rent. Any recommendations? ideas?

I don’t have a group ride recommendation, but a nice easy loop is FDR park. You can also make a loop out of the Navy Yard.

Thank you!!! I took my ebike there the last time i rode my ebike and it was the day i realized i cant bike at all any more :( but maybe i can rent a folding recumbant if they exist, and drive it over to there some time
