The City of Bend invites cyclists of all ages to Bend Bike Night on Monday, May 13 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at The Grove (921 NW Mt. Washington Drive) in Northwest Crossing.

This block-party style event will be fun for the whole family with interactive bike trainings, raffles and a host of community partners who focus on bike safety initiatives and education in Bend like Oregon State Representative Emerson Levy, Commute Options, Bend Bikes, Oregon Adaptive Sports, Bend Park & Recreation District, Bend Fire & Rescue and the Bend Police Department.

Attendees who bring their bike will be eligible for additional prizes raffled throughout the evening and discounts to several area food vendors will be offered with the proof of a helmet.

 Roll into the event on a Bike Bus!

Bend Bikes will lead two bike buses, or group bike rides, from northeast and southeast Bend to arrive at The Grove together. Bike buses push off at 4 p.m. and folks can join at different stops along the way. Routes and sign-ups are available online at bendoregon.gov/bike-night.

Bend Bike Night was organized in response to outreach from the Bend community and Bend City Council’s commitment to providing education initiatives focused on bike and pedestrian safety.
