Sunset Bike Tours

Experience the Magic City like no other! Join us as we hunt down the Sun and catch ocean breezes in the process. We’ll be riding from the Outdoor Center to the Bear Cut Bridge to catch the sun set over the horizon! It is a beautiful experience. We will ride at a leisurely pace. This ride is suitable for beginners. We will be riding on the bike lane to and from. This ride is a round trip of 4.5 miles. Participants are welcome to hang out after the ride. If you’d like to bring something to eat or drink, we have a fridge and grill available on site.

It will be light when we ride off, dark when we return. That means lights are required for the ride. No lights, no ride, it’s the law. Lights are provided for all rentals. If you bring your own, you must bring a light.

KNOW THE LAW
– Cyclists are expected to follow all other normal traffic laws. That means stopping and waiting at a red light and using hand signals to indicate turns.
– Bikes are not allowed to ride more than two abreast! Unless they’re in specially designated lanes or areas, cyclists cannot ride with more than two bikes side-by-side. If riding two abreast in conditions that would impede other traffic, cyclists are required to ride single-file.
– You’re not allowed to wear any headphones or headpieces because they could prevent you from properly detecting traffic.
– LIGHTS: When riding at night, cyclists must have lights on their bikes. A white light visible from 500 feet away is required on the front, and both a red lamp and a red reflector visible from 600 feet away are required on the back
– Cyclists under 16 must wear a helmet.
