What we’re about
THE BIKE LANE - Adventures near and far for street bikes, in and around the greater Phx area.
(Sorry - we do NOT mountain bike).
Welcome bicycle enthusiasts! We're a Phx-Valley based adult group of fun loving 2-wheelers (yes, many of us have e-bikes!) that explore the parks, greenbelt and local bike trails of the Phoenix area, cool areas of Arizona, old West Rail-Trails, plus bike a European Boat & Bike adventure in Autumn.
No current bicycling experience needed.
We love fun. We are a very social group (no - it's not a race). Come pedal with us as we go adventuring near and far, and make active, positive, interesting friends with similar interests!
Life is too short to stay on the sofa - let's go exploring (on 2 wheels)!!
Make friends, get a little exercise, have some fun.

Moon Valley Annual Christmas Lights Bicycle Ride & Dinner
Vegan & Vine, 502 E Thunderbird Rd,, Phoenix, AZ, USMoon Valley has a Christmas Light Decoration Contest that would make Clark Griswold green with envy.
Come join our friend Jack, our bike host! - for this festive ride!!
They also have a nice series of bike friendly streets.
We’ll take a leisurely ride through the neighborhood ooohhhhing and ahhhhing at the variety of displays covering about 10 miles on mostly flat streets and cul-de-sac’s.
This is a very social ride so the pace will be slow and the conversation high. Feel free to decorate your bike and yourself.
5pm We’ll start with dinner at Vegan & Vine.
*Dinner: 5:00 p.m. at Vegan & Vine: https://veganandvineco.com/menu/*
6:30pm If you prefer to ONLY come on the ride, no problem - plan to be at our starting point behind the restaurant in front of Safeway no later than 6:30.
Kick Stands Up at 6:30 p.m. in the Parking Lot behind the restaurant
The ride will end at the starting point (well isn't that convenient!).
After the Ride, if you are still up for Christmas frivolities, we'll go to my house and hang out with some beverage and any snack you care to bring.
I'll grill hotdogs on the BBQ. Please bring your beverage of choice. I live 5 minutes from Vegan & Vine where you will be parked. For the address - well, you will see me on the ride.
SAFETY FIRST!! HELMETS are REQUIRED because your brain is the only thing getting you home and you can't stay at my house. Also, front and rear LIGHTS are REQUIRED unless your bike is decorated by Jeannette. Bring plenty of water and I suggest dressing warm. It will get cool at night on a bicycle, but no fear, we'll warm you up after the ride. (Ken, bring the flame thrower).
As if this really needs to be said......but Joe told me to say it. You are responsible for you. Ride your own ride. We will regularly stop and allow stragglers to catch up so there is no need to ride with abandon.
OK, done....questions? Post a comment, but come, this is always fun!
