Join us for the 3rd annual Spoken Bicycles Spectacle of Lights!

Break out your bicycles and deck yourself out in all things glowing and bright!

At 8 p.m. sharp on Saturday, December 11th we all will “glow” together as we take a cruise through downtown's Holiday Whopla and Smith Park's Light Up Middletown. This is not a race, it is a parade, and all riders are welcome. Minors must be accompanied by a glowing parent.

Show your glow off! Come for the glow, stay for the glory. There are three categories you can enter yourself in to win a coveted trophy and some free swag!

1. Brightest Glow: Shine bright like a diamond.
2. Best Glowing Duo: Think matching costumes on a tandem bike.
3. Crazy & Creative Ride: The weirdest or most outrageous mode of transportation.

Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the ride route to get your number.
Hang out afterwards for a glowing afterparty at Spoken Bicycles!

Just a few days before our monthly ride in December, Wasson Way will be opening its newest stretch of trail!!! 🚲 🎉

Let's celebrate this huge accomplishment by experiencing the new connection firsthand. We will be able to glide along Wasson Way into beautiful Ault Park, and then right on through to Old Red Bank Road!

As you will discover, Wasson Way's gorgeous new descent out of Ault Park now enables a low-stress connection to the shared use path along Red Bank Road.

From there we will connect directly to the Murray Avenue Trail, which then opens the door to exploring the many pleasant streets in Mariemont, Madisonville, and Kennedy Heights—which we will enjoy as we make our way back to the Ridge. Come join us!
