On the last Friday of every month, cyclists around the world gather to ride the streets together to assert the rights of non-automotive traffic to use the streets.
In Calgary, we meet at Eau Claire (near the Olympic arches and the YMCA). The rides usually leave no later than 6pm, and take a generally random route (determined by the riders) through downtown and sometimes into other inner-city communities.
April is usually the first big ride of the year, and is often the biggest ride of the year (since everyone is excited to get back out after winter). So, come out and celebrate bicycles!
