Joyful Riders DJ Ride: Friday Night Lights Edition

The joyful riders are returning on October 7, 2022, at 7 p.m., to the back lot of celebrated Uptown bike shop Perennial Cycle, for ONE LAST DJ-ed ride of the year.

This time, we're rolling at night, so bring lights for your bike and other light-up decorations, as well as your dancing shoes! Let's give the bike paths a glow-up.

DJ Dev (who streams every Tuesday night at https://www.twitch.tv/devericmn) will provide our ride with drum & bass tunes you can bounce to as you pedal your bike.

We'll be taking a round-trip route of around 5 miles, rolling slow (5–8 mph) and flat and taking time for DANCE BREAKS under bridges on the Midtown Greenway.

 This is a free, all-wheels-welcome dance party! 

Note: Because there's delicate equipment involved, we will delay this ride if there's rain. Keep your fingers crossed for clear skies and get ready to D-A-N-C-E.

PARTNERS:

To organize these DJ dance rides, we partner with:

• DJ Dev (a.k.a., Eric Moran, who you might know from the recent Roll North announcement to open a roller rink in North Minneapolis). As we mentioned above, DJ Dev streams every Tuesday night on Twitch.
• Perennial Cycle, who have set us up with a DEEP CUSTOM Carla Cargo to make Eric's DJ setup roll-ready. If you're looking for a sweet, carry-all-the-stuff cargo bike, Perennial's your shop: http://perennialcycle.com

Shout-out to Anu Wille for creating the awesome cover photo for this event!
