Changwon Bike Party !!!: November 2013

What is Bike Party?

Changwon Bike Party is a group bike ride open to any and all bike riders and Nubija subscribers. It happens the 2nd Saturday of every month. Every Bike Party has a different starting point and a different route and is typically around 12-20 KM. Also every ride has a costumed theme! Bike Party is about engaging with your biking and local community. Bike Party allows us to explore and engage with neighborhoods and even cities that we might not explore or engage with otherwise. Bike Party is first and foremost a PARTY! There is music, and costumes and all kinds of celebrating!! So dress up and get on your bikes and ride!!!

Here is a video I made of what a bike party looks like: East Bay Bike Party

I'm out of shape, can I actually do this?

Most people have no trouble completing the ride, although your legs and butt might be feeling it in the morning!

I don't have a bike.

YES!! Bike Party is for EVERYONE!

What if it's raining?

Bike Party is a rain or shine event. Bring the right gear and you'll be ok.
