Thousands of bike riders will Join HUB Cycling at the second annual Bike the Night Ride on September 16th. City streets will be opened up for a night of music, lights and decorated bikes. Due to popular demand, HUB Cycling is organizing BC’s only fully permitted, open streets night ride on Saturday, September 16, 2017.

Bike the Night is presented by MEC and is modeled after Montreal’s hugely popular Tour La Nuit, which is organized by Vélo Québec and now gets nearly 20,000 participants each year. Tracy Wilkins, HUB Cycling’s Special Events Manager, says:
“We’re very excited to be celebrating cycling in such a unique way. Being fully permitted allows us to open the streets to riders of all ages who want to cycle in a fun and social environment. The combination of music, costumes, bikes, glowing lights, and thousands of people creates a very unique community experience.”
Bike the Night will kick off at 6.00 p.m. with a pre-party featuring music, games, food and giveaways for registered participants. The easy 10 kilometre route will start at Concord Pacific Place and wind through Vancouver’s most iconic streets, including a car-free Burrard Bridge. Over 5,000 people of all ages and abilities are expected to sign up for the ride and are encouraged to decorate their bikes with lights and come in costume.
Registration is only $15 until September 1st and includes access to the ride, entry to win a MEC bike and other great prizes, and an admission to the kick-off party with live music, free bike tune-ups and decorating, relay races, giveaways and other entertainment. Youth 16 and under ride free.
