Glow Bike Ride

Deck out your bike, add some lights, and join us for a night ride through Edmonton's streets!

The Edmonton Glow Bike Ride is a fun, social cycling event where riders light up the city together. We'll roll out from the Garneau Lamp at 8:30pm on May 1st for a scenic 17.9 km route through the river valley and into Greater Strathcona — with a finish at Odd Company.

The Glow Bike Ride is one of several events happening around the same time. Also taking place that weekend:

• Friday, May 1 — Public Lecture: Renowned urbanist and filmmaker Mikael Colville-Andersen speaks on Urbanism in Times of War & Crisis. Open to the public. Get tickets here. This event will be followed by this ride, but you don't have to attend one to attend the other!
• Saturday, May 2 — Storytelling Workshop: An invite-only full-day workshop with Mikael Colville-Andersen on urban storytelling, followed by an afternoon tour and optional social activities. YEG Bike Coalition supporters are invited! Get tickets here.
