Bike jam after dark

The first Bike Jam of the year is nocturnal.
Normally on the third Sunday of the month, this one will be held Saturday, May 24 starting at 8:30 p.m. in E.A. Friesen Park.
The change in date means cyclists of all ages can continue with their long weekend plans. The nighttime ride is meant to avoid potential hot daytime temperatures and discover low-traffic routes with a group.
The After-Dark Bike Jam is for cyclists of all levels wishing to ride under stars and city lights. There is no admission.
The group ride is organized by Strong Towns Steinbach, a volunteer group that advocates for a sustainable Steinbach. One of the things it advocates is cycling in the city while making new friends.
Helmets are required for riders 18 and under and strongly recommended for everyone.
Routes can change every ride, so families get to see all the places they can cycle safely around Steinbach. When there are lots of kids, it usually involves a stop at a playground along the way.
This is the third year the group rides are running.
