@ncc-ccn.gc.ca Bike Night was a resounding success as far as I'm concerned. #ottbike showed UP! Kids, doggos, tunes, bubbles, friends, lights, smiles, and BIKES!!! This needs to be an annual event!
Many people with their bikes, in an urban setting. Many people with their bikes, in a city park. There are light bulbs strung over the group.

I'm won't try to post captures from the @ncc-ccn.gc.ca's glorious night bike ride tonight - won't do it justice. But my thanks go to them for organizing it. It was great to see friends old like Tobi Nussbaum and new like Gabriel St-Pierre who organizes Montreal's Tour de l’Île for Vélo Quebec.

NCC Bike Night was great. We did 4 laps, and then drank 2 pitchers of sangria at the bistro. Perfect night, very few notes. Also surprised how many people had ZERO lights on their bikes. C'mon people!
