There were far too many bikes the last few months that did not have lights. It’s a good thing we have some bike shops that definitely live by the I 
Bike Party spirit!
We will have a contest to show off the best lit bikes! Ian will provide more details this next week!
So we’re looking to make it easier for you to get lights. Come join us for a good time. This first one is this weekend. This is combined with either a Test Ride a Pre-Ride or both! You do not have to ride your bike though. Limited availability this weekend! For more details, click “Continued Reading.”

I Bike Party!
Following the “How We Ride” shows an proactive love of Bike Party.
Having the San Jose Police shut down the (legal) 3rd regroup in the last party has never happened before and may have been a result of us not sharing the road and shooting off fireworks.
What we all do reflects on Bike Party. Doing something silly, stupid or illegal damages Bike Party and puts your safety (and others around you) at risk. So let’s have fun and show our love of Bike Party!

350 smiles took to the street last night for the Ladies Ride. In total, we rode 16.5 miles.
Ladies @ SJFD Station #1!
The ride started across the street from San Jose Fire Station No. 1. It was nice having an “open house” and it gave us a chance to interact with the Fire House before the ride started. The group moved quickly through downtown San Jose and found its way to DT Willow Glen. A regroup near Campbell kept the group together and in high spirits before riding through DT Campbell itself.
Ladies @ Santana Row!
Following the second regroup, the ride rolled down Winchester and rode through Santana Row. A final regroup brought the ride together before a stellar finish at Cesar Chavez Park.

Either way, we can all make this a movement to be copied everywhere.
(thanks to Perlasum for suggesting a forum for how we can all help improve the ride)
Another ride has come and gone, and while the past few months have brought us nothing but great riding and a positive response from the community, July’s Deity Ride has solicited mixed feelings from both riders and non-riders alike. This post will highlight some of the amazing things from the ride while reflecting what immediate needs we must address if we are to carry out our mission of community building.
