There are hundreds of events happening during Bike Month, from guided rides to cycling workshops, and so much more.

We’ll be set up along busy cycling routes across the city from Tuesday to Thursday every week from 5:30-7:30 pm. What’s even better is that you can “put a bike on it” and create an event of your own!
