Lantern Ride June 3
One of my favorite Bike Month events is the Evening Lantern Ride, which this year is on Saturday, June 3. We meet at David Lam Park in Yaletown at 7:30 for bike-decoration, and ride through the West End, Coal Harbour, and Stanley Park with lanterns. The park is magical at night, and this is one of the rare chances when anyone can feel safe while enjoying it.
We stop to sing songs a few times along the way. I'll be helping with the music this year, and if the weather is good might be playing fiddle.
The actual ride starts at 9:00 and goes for a couple of hours. Lee, the main organizer, acknowledges that the timing is not very kid-friendly. "The sun doesn't go down until that time. Sorry, God makes it that way."
