@ Meet at City Hall 39 Main St

The Glow Ride rolls out and lights up your life again Saturday October 26!
Brought to you each year by Montpelier Complete Streets, the Glow Ride marks the start of our annual Be Bright at Night event series to raise awareness of the importance of lights and reflective gear to help motorists see cyclists and pedestrians when it's dark. There will be Glow Walks and Glow Runs to come, so stay bright!

What it is
A no-drop, family friendly evening bike ride around the city led by Complete Streets Committee members. Our route is typically ~4 miles for any level rider of all ages, bikes of all types, and lots of fun!
This event is a reminder to all who walk   ...
