Bike Month to conclude Saturday with parade

Charlottesville’s annual festival of pedal-drive vehicles will conclude on Saturday with a 1.3 mile ride through downtown beginning at 9 a.m.

“Charlottesville has really amazed us with their participation in Bike Month this year and we are thrilled to cap off the month with an epic, inclusive celebration of biking for all ages and experience levels,” an information release quotes Tommy Safranek, Bike & Pedestrian Coordinator for the City of Charlottesville.

Bike riders of all skill levels are encouraged to decorate their bikes and dress in costume for the celebratory ride. People who don’t have bikes can check with Safranek for a loaner or the Cville E-Bike lending library.

“This is a special opportunity to take up space in a safe way and to show the greater community that bikes are an important part of our city culture and its future,” Safranek said.

The ride begins at a Parks and Recreation tent on the western side of the City Market.

Endeavor Cycles will hold an E-bike demonstration from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the City Market as part of the event.
