Everyone is invited to adorn their bikes in holiday lights for the ninth annual River City Cycle Club Christmas Light Ride in December.
Taking off from Frank James Park at 6 p.m. on Dec. 7, the event is fun and inclusive, said organizer Angie Clark.
The ride is popular, attracting people from near and far, Clark said. Depending on the weather, up to about 100 people are expected.
"It's very social," she said. "You get to meet all sorts of people, and it's a great way for the cycling community to connect. It doesn't matter what type of bike you ride or how fast you are. Everyone is welcome and we all ride together."
Cyclists of all ages can join the parade and bring their families. For those who prefer not to ride, they are encouraged to come out, watch, and cheer people on.
Participants will cycle along a loop of the Rotary Seawalk, heading to Hidden Harbour before returning to So Cal for an après event
Those attending the event are advised to dress warmly, equip their bikes with front and rear lights, be prepared for icy conditions and debris on the paths, as well as remember to bring a bike lock.
Non-members are welcome to join but are asked to complete an online waiver in case of accidents.
