Bike The Night 2022!
Posted August 23, 2022
Bike The Night is back! Guelph’s 2nd annual illuminated nighttime community ride is taking over Guelph streets on Friday, September 23rd @ 7PM!
Bike The Night welcomes riders of all ages and abilities who want to be part of a free, fun lit-up party on wheels and who share an interest in building safer, more pedestrian- and cycling-friendly streets. The organized ride follows signed-bike routes, multi-use paths, and bike lanes. Bike the Night starts in Exhibition Park, then takes us through Sunny Acres, Royal City Park, the Ward, and ends downtown at City Hall.
