See all- Full moon bike ride - May 2025 🌛🚲🚲🚲69 S Riverside Dr, Elgin, IL
It's the Full Moon Ride! This will be a moderate pace ride for 7 to 9 miles throughout the core neighborhoods of Elgin. Join us for this social night ride!
Reminder: Illinois State law requires bike riders to have a clear light on the front and a red reflector or a red light on the back for night time riding. That would be the minimum attempt for safety, so let's all be easy to see on the street.

- Far Westside Slow Roll - May 🚲🚲🚲Plank Road Tap Room, Elgin, IL
In a special collaboration series with Plank Road Tap Room, we're slow rolling on the far west side of Elgin. This ride will meet at Plank Road Tap Room at 11am, and we'll roll at 11:30am. Total mileage for the ride will be 6-10 miles at a social pace.
While the ride distance and speed will feel familiar to ECB riders, we will have some short distances on country road context. With PRTR's Sunday's being family friendly through the summer, we are happy to welcome riders of all ages on these rides that will feel comfortable with the distance and ride locations.
All riders must complete an 2025 annual Ride Participation Waiver at https://waiver.fr/p-O8h9T.
