After a five-year hiatus brought on by the pandemic, HUB Cycling’s popular and family-friendly event, Bike the Night, is returning to Vancouver on Saturday, September 14, 2024! 

Bike the Night is set to be Vancouver’s largest organized night bike ride in 2024. Hundreds of people are expected to join the bike ride along the iconic Vancouver Seawall and raise funds for HUB Cycling’s advocacy work.

Bike the Night will kick off with a pre-ride festival at David Lam Park featuring placemaking activations from community partners, including:

  • live music, 
  • food trucks, 
  • games, 
  • bike decorating and tune-ups, 
  • an e-cargo bike showcase, 
  • prizes and more. 

The easy 10-kilometer route will wind around the Seawall looping back around Charleston Park and ending back at David Lam Park. The ride will take place in two waves of 500 riders each with people of all ages and abilities expected to sign up for the ride. Participants are encouraged to decorate their bikes with lights on site and come in costume.
 
To participate in Bike the Night, participants can either purchase a ticket or fundraise to ride. Children 8 and under ride for free.
