SF Bike Party: Lighted Ride to the Bay Lights | First Fridays

Submitted by the Event Organizer

San Francisco Bike Party (First Fridays)

San Francisco Bike Party  (not to be confused with Critical Mass) is a monthly celebration of biking for riders of different ages, types, and skill levels to enjoy. Every month is a different theme and you’re encouraged to dress up.

San Francisco Bike Party is held on the first Friday at 8:00 pm every month (meet at 7:30p, roll at 8p). The starting location and route also changes every month. Check SF Bike Party’s Facebook page for updates.

The rides are fun and safe with stops to dance and socialize along the way. You’ll follow planned routes exploring all different parts of the city each month. They encourage people to bring positivity and contribute to good times while being respectful to others.

Who runs it? Created by a co-op, by and for bike enthusiasts, run by volunteers who plan the routes, test ride them, help participants ride in control, avoid traffic disruption, and not get lost. How SFBP rides: – Stay in the right lane – Stop at red lights – Leave no trace – Ride predictably and in control – Roll past conflict – Ride prepared – When in doubt, “bike party!!”

San Francisco Bike Party (First Fridays)

As the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love winds down SFBP would like to keep the party going into the night. We’ll be meeting just after Hardly Strictly Bluegrass ends for Friday and taking you on a magical journey through some of SF’s most beautiful sights.

This month San Francisco Bike Party has partnered with Ben Davis and Illuminate, the non-profit organization responsible for some of the Bay Area’s coolest public art, to design a route that starts by showcasing the current (but soon to be concluding) installation at the Conservatory of Flowers, to the Palace of Fine Arts and ends with an up-close view of the Bay Bridge lights. 

The route has about 300′ of elevation gain and some dark roads through the Presidio. So bring your lights and layers and prepare to illuminate the night with light and love in the way that only Bike Party can.
