We meet every Monday at the Electric Depot, 1509 Government Street. We gather at 6 p.m. and the ride ends by 8 p.m. 

This is a at-your-own-risk ride. Louisiana law requires all bicyclists to have a front and rear light. Helmets are not required for adults, but are required for children 12 and under. 

This ride is free and open to the public, so invite your friends! We ride at the pace of the slowest rider, so all skill levels are welcome. This is a social ride, not necessarily a fitness ride. The goal is to have fun, meet new people, and learn something about the city in the process.

The Light Up the Night imitative raised money to purchase bike lights to improve cyclists' safety during darker hours.

 

Our group distributes free front and rear lights to cyclists in need, enhancing visibility and preventing accidents.

 

Despite their effectiveness, some cyclists lack these lights due to cost or unawareness. Donations will help make cyclists visible at night, promoting safe travel.
