Event Description
Let the festive spirit take you away with Fort Collins’ annual Bike the Lights, a group bicycle ride through the Old Town neighborhoods of Fort Collins! Join us for an evening of holiday cheer as we embark on a twinkling adventure through the beautifully adorned streets. Enjoy dazzling displays of festive lights that adorn the historic buildings and charming homes.
Lights, music, and festive dress-up are not just encouraged; they are the essence of this merry-filled journey so let yourself be expressed to the fullest in whatever ways you see fit. Deck yourself out in your most spirited holiday attire, adorn your bike with fairy lights, and let's create a spectacle of joy as we pedal through the streets, spreading holiday magic to all who witness our merry procession. Pro-tip, bring a warm beverage and hand/foot-warmers.
New for this year, Mugs has graciously provided a hot chocolate station to be held at Lightning Mini Golf HQ. Lightning Mini Golf is a grassroots, neighborhood based mini golf course in the heart of old town Fort Collins, lovingly built and maintained by Matt Gottig. Donations towards Lightning Mini Golf are encouraged but certainly not required. Your donation helps support Matt and his continued dedication to keeping this old town gem going strong for years to come. Many thanks to Mugs for providing hot chocolate and coffee and for their continued support of all things quirky and joyful in our community.
This community event is not just a bike ride; it's a celebration of togetherness and the joy that the holiday season brings. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or a casual rider, everyone is welcome to join in the festivities. Bring your friends, family, and neighbors as we come together to make lasting memories under the twinkling lights of Fort Collins' Old Town. So, dust the snow off your bikes, grab your favorite holiday sweater, and pedal with us through a winter wonderland as we celebrate the most wonderful time of the year!
