Cargo Bike Round-Up
Bring your bike, your helmet, your kiddos, your MASK and meet us outside for Cargo and Coffee talk! Let's dork out on all the accessories, hacks and information you need to help reduce emissions by riding your bike around Tucson!
Meet us outside near the end of the intersection at 6th ave and 7th st. Show your helmet and get a dollar off your coffee or a dollar off a draft at Tap and Bottle (please drink responsibly if you're riding with your kids).
Tuesday Night Ride
TNR has been a community-led Tucson tradition for 15 years: Cyclists congregate at the flag pole in front of Old Main at the University of Arizona around 8:30pm for a night ride through the streets, alleys, paths, parks and parking lots of the city.
TNR is a phenomenon by which, every Tuesday, individuals from the community come to a central location to ride bicycles, purely for the enjoyment of riding bicycles and sharing that joy with others.
*Best for adults & experienced riders. Bring a light and helmet!
