Friday Night Lights Free Bicycle Ride
Our free Friday Night Lights ride is scheduled for Friday, September 5, 2014, with riders meeting up at 8:30pm in Willistead Park. We will take guests out on the town to explore the night life in Windsor. The catch: since it’s a night ride you’ll need lights on your bike. The more lights the better!
All you’ll need is a simple bike light to make yourself seen at night. If you don’t have any lights for your bike, we’ll also have bikes available for rent with special lighting to light up the night with designs and colours to make every passerby turn and see.
To support local businesses, we’ll be making two stops along the route for those who want to purchase beverages or a bite to eat: Rock Bottom Bar & Grill and The Squirrel Cage.
Our last Friday Night Lights had over 70 riders. Lets see if we can top that!
Bikes, Burgers & Beers
We love bikes, we love burgers and we sure as heck love beers. We’re in!
The Sandwich Town Festival has been given a makeover. Now with a Bikes, Burgers and Beers theme, establishments like Rock Bottom Bar & Grill and others will be offering over 60 sliders, 60 beers, cycling contests, children’s activities, music, patios and fun! Be sure to visit on September 6-7, 2014.
