The 2019 edition of Bike the Bridges will be held on Sunday, August 18th. Check-in starts at 4:00pm with the ride kicking off around 4:30pm. This fun and family-friendly bicycle ride showcases many of the beautiful vistas you get when crossing the Deschutes River as it passes through Bend. Let this be your excuse to get a little exercise, make friends, and discover new bike routes to commute around town.
We’ll start and end at The Gear Fix.
