On Saturday, August 27, hundreds of cyclists will ride en masse along 7.5 miles of the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway at the inaugural Brooklyn Bike Rave, a glowtastic night ride with lights and music.

Brooklyn Bike Rave, hosted by Brooklyn Greenway Initiative, is New York’s first event of its kind and allows the participant to become an integrated part of the experience by bringing their own creativity and lighting up their bikes, dressing up and playing music from a synchronized playlist, while experiencing the energy of nocturnal Brooklyn at its best.

The ride will start at dusk in Greenpoint, ride through the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Brooklyn Bridge Park before looping back to finish under the iconic Archway under the Manhattan Bridge in Dumbo for entertainment, music, and refreshments with lighting design by Ionic Design Group.

Bike raves are a cultural phenomenon that is spreading around the globe.

“The event serves as a great gateway to cycling for transportation, giving folks the perfect excuse to get on a bike, often for the first time in years,” says Olivia Lynch, Director of Outreach and Engagement at Brooklyn Greenway Initiative. “It also provides a unique opportunity to collectively celebrate the city within the shared realm of its public greenways, plazas, and parks. We invite participants of all ages and from all backgrounds to join us for the city’s first event of its kind!”
