EBBP Presents: A Halloween Parade! Kiddies & Kostumes!
2017-10-27 18:30 - 20:30
East Bay Bike Party presents: A Special Halloween Parade Ride!
Remember in elementary school, everyone gathering outside in their costumes and parading around the blacktop?! Or, maybe you or little ones close to you are doing that this Halloween! Well we invite you to a Halloween parade, ON BIKES!
This route will start an hour earlier than bike party (meetup 6:30, roll 7). It will also be a very short route at a slow pace. We invite everyone to come out in their costumes, spooky or not, and parade around Berkeley for a fun ride for all. Route starts at Ashby BART and ends at Ashby too.
Light up yourself and your bike! It’s gonna be dark already!!! Also locks and layers, bike tools, everything you need for a self supported bike ride.
The ride will probably end on the early side. Plenty of time to roll deep with your friends to Halloween festivities later in the night.
Not feeling a slower, chiller bike party? Maybe check out Critical Mass in SF! They ride on the last Friday of every month, at 5:30pm at Pee Wee Herman Plaza at the foot of Market Street. Critical Mass is now over 25 years old, and we wouldn’t be where we are in regards to urban cycling and cycling culture without them. Check out their dos & donts – http://www.sfcriticalmass.org/2009/10/27/critical-mass-dos-donts/

SFBP #80: Illuminate
2017-10-06 19:30 - 23:30
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 we partnered with 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 and ends with an up close view of the Bay Bridge lights. See http://illuminate.org/ for more info on their work.
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.
