Have you ever wanted to ride a bike under the stars without having to expressly fear for your safety? Why not join a group of other people who love biking and the nighttime just as much as you do? The Midnight Classic Bike tour is the perfect time to bike under the stars and meet so many new people! It takes place this Saturday, August 28 at 10 pm.

The Midnight Classic Bike tour starts at Poplar Plaza Shopping Center. Registration for adults is $35 before noon on August 27, and is $40 on race night. Children 12 and under are $20 either way. So who’s participating? Folks from Mid-Town, the burbs, college students, artists, athletes, professionals, doctors, lawyers, fry cooks, firemen, and families from infants to octogenarians and more! Everyone can participate, and it’s sure to be a blast! There’s even a post-ride festival for participants.

The festival will feature music by the Venus Mission, bike checks, vendors, doors prizes, and more! The ride starts at midnight and ends at 3 am. People will begin to arrive at 10 pm and that’s a great time to socialize and make sure that everything is in order for the ride. The ride will be touring beautiful downtown Memphis with traffic safety protection along the way.

Did I mention that it’s BYOB? That’s bring your own bike. Don’t forget those helmets!
