Join us on Sunday, September 25, 2022 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the annual Bike the Ridge ride!

Ridge Avenue will be closed to ALL vehicular traffic between Howard and Church Streets. Bicycles are not allowed on Ridge Avenue at any other time, so come out and enjoy this non-competitive, City-sponsored special event!

Participants will enjoy live music, food trucks, and bike repairs at Ridgeville Park, 908 Seward St. This event is limited to those on non-motorized bicycles only (motorized bicycles or skateboards are not allowed). Children under age 18 are required to wear bike helmets per City of Evanston ordinance.

Community members are invited to join Mayor Biss for the official start of Bike the Ridge at 9 a.m. at the intersection of Ridge Avenue and Howard Street.
