BikeNight at Confederation Park, Ottawa
On September 13, join a nighttime bike ride along the Queen Elizabeth Driveway and Colonel By Drive. Inspired by Montreal’s popular Tour La Nuit event, this special ride welcomes cyclists of all ages and experience levels.
The ride covers 6.6 km per loop on a one-direction route, and participants can complete as many or as few loops as they like. Please be aware of sharp turnarounds when coming on and off the bridges. Participation requires bicycles.
Participants are asked to wear a helmet, reflective gear and as many lights as they want. They are also encouraged to come dressed up to show off their style.
This activity is suitable for all ages.
Event hours: September 13, from 6 pm to 10 pm
Come see our pop-up partners Tunes on Wheels, Safer Roads Ottawa, Bike Ottawa, Vélo-services and the NCC Heritage team. While here, listen to our event DJ or grab a bite to eat and refreshments at the NCC Bistro at Confederation Park.
