Glow Ride!

Light up your bike and join Rat Patrol Oz for a fun loop of the lake

Meet at the Australians of the Year Walk, alongside Lake Burley Griffin near Commonwealth Avenue Bridge

More details…

Light up your bike and join us for a fun, clockwise loop of the lake, finishing at Canberra’s amazing Enlighten Festival.

While all bikes are welcomed, this event is sure to attract a few of those fun-loving freakbike riders from Canberra’s very own Rat Patrol Oz. Dance beats will be provided by a fantastic cargo (party) bike so we’ll be sure to stop the ride at a couple of spots so you can get your dance on. Limited stocks of free glow sticks and sticky tape will be available at the start of the ride (while stocks last).

If you’re planning to attend Enlighten on Saturday night, this is the best way to get there!
