Spin Classes, Bike Rentals, Valet Service, Glow-in-the-Dark Giveaways
Building on the success of the first Cycledelic in May of 2014, the City of Palm Springs’ Office of Sustainability and Hocker Productions will present Cycledelic Part Deux. This colorful, fluorescent and glow-in-the-dark bike ride and vendor festival will take place Thursday, October 16, 2014 and coincide with the weekly VillageFest in downtown Palm Springs.
Cycledelic is a FREE, fun and easy downtown loop bike ride suitable for all ages. All cyclists are required to wear helmets and obey all traffic laws, signage and routes for Cycledelic. Riders will gather at the festival area located at the Northwest corner of Tahquitz Canyon Way situated between Palm Canyon Drive and Belardo Road starting at 6:00p.m. Pilates Plus will host stretching and free spinning classes onsite to get warmed up for the ride. Big Wheel Tours will offer bike rentals and PS Cyclery will offer bike valet service.
While supplies last, bike lights and glow in the dark decorations will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. A short instruction seminar will be given at approx., 7:15p.m, focusing on bike safety, tips to navigate vehicle traffic, locking your bike and what gear should be worn for nighttime riding.
