Summer Night Rides 2024

Written By Jonah Kanner

Riding a bike at night feels like magic. Music, lights, and a great community make these rides fun for everyone.

West Pasadena Night Ride: July 24

The West Pasadena ride took us to some famous icons of Pasadena, including the Rose Bowl and a trip across the Colorado Street bridge. The amazing Christy brought lights and music, and this photo of her disco ball on the Colorado Street bridge is one of my favorites.

Grand Tour: August 24

For the Grand Tour, we partnered with South Pas Active Streets (SPAS) to tour the restaurant districts of Pasadena and South Pasadena. Casey from SPAS organized a boba tea break at the South Pas metro, so we were all refreshed for our ride back up the hill. We took a climb up Grand Avenue, where the South Pasadena community rallied to preserve a bike lane. A few drinks and a lot of tater tots closed out our night at the Dog Haus in Pasadena.

Caltech Under The Stars: September 21

Our last Night Ride of summer 2024 was on September 21. We started and ended at the Caltech campus. It was a lovely ride through some quiet neighborhoods in East Pasadena and San Marino, with a great disco soundtrack provided by Christy!

I think we should build some bike lanes in Pasadena.
