What is Bike Party?

Bike Party is a Friday night group bike ride open to any and all bike riders and Nubija subscribers. It happens the 2nd Friday of every month. Every Bike Party has a different starting point and a different route and is typically around 12-15 miles. Also every ride has a costumed theme!

Bike Party is about engaging with your biking and local community. Bike Party allows us to explore and engage with neighborhoods and even cities that we might not explore or engage with otherwise.

Bike Party is first and foremost a PARTY! There is music, and costumes and yes, there's drinking! (don't get sloppy wasted though).

So dress up and get on your bikes and ride!!!

Here is a video I made of what a bike party looks like: East Bay Bike Party

SEPTEMBER BIKE PARTY - MONOCHROME RIDE Recap

SEPTEMBER BIKE PARTY - MONOCHROME RIDE 
Recap

Thank you for all who came! You riders made they night! Bike Party!

We rode to Jinhae-ru and back (about 15 miles) ! Our spirits were high and one of our bike party members made 50,000 won (about $50) just for having a pretty face. God bless you drunk Korean businessman. 

At Jinhae-ru we put that money to good use including a variety of luxuries including fireworks! The rain came but only effected us for the last 20 minutes.

Enjoy the photos and we hope to see you at the next ride!

SEPTEMBER RIDE- MONOCHROME -- ROUTE

You have some options. MILD and SPICY

MILD:  a one-way trip that ends at Jinhae-Ru. 12.3 km (about 7.5 miles)


Flag Marker #5 on the Map indicates our 1st stop at "The Columns" @ Geongdan-ro and Seoungju-ro. At Bike Party pace it takes roughly 30-40 minutes to get to there. There is a GS25 across the street and Nubija stalls. We will hang out at the columns for about 20-30ish minutes. We then proceed through the bike corridor through Anmin Tunnel (that little bubble that says "17") and down into Jinhae to Jinhae-ru. There is a CU (aka. Family Mart) right next to Jinhae-ru. 



Group Stop 1 @ the Columns at Geongdan-ro & Seungju-ro
Time it takes to get there: approx. 30-40 min







Group stop 2 @ Jinhae-Ru
Time it takes from Group Stop 1: approx 25- 30 min

This might be the end of your night. Dock your Nubija, and (try to) get a cab...... unless you're feeling SPICY

(A note recently discovered about Jinhae-ru: finding a cab can be difficult. Not impossible, but just letting you know ahead of time)




SPICYa round-trip ride that ends back at Fountain Park with an extra stop on the way back. 23.5 km (14.5 miles)


For those who want to continue spicing up their night, we ride back through the tunnel following a mostly similar route backtracking except for making a 3rd Group Stop at the Changwon City Rose Garden @ Changwon-daero & Jeoungdong-ru (at Flag Post #2 on the map). From there we hang out 20 or 30 minutes until making the quick 10 minute ride back to Fountain Park feeling great after biking close to 15 miles on a Friday night in silly clothes.


Group Stop 3 @ Changwon City Rose Garden
Time it takes from Group Stop 2: approx. 40 min.

















End Point @ Fountain Park
Time it takes from Group Stop 3: approx 10 min

SEPTEMBER RIDE- MONOCHROME

CHANGWON BIKE PARTY presents...




We will be riding to Jinhaeru and back (15 miles approx.) with 2 stops along the way. There will be music and drinking (note: do not get sloppy wasted) and all around fun. A special note to friends in Jinhae: If you only want to do half the ride, leaving from Jinhae to Changwon that's totally an option.


For those who have no idea what Changwon Bike Party is or even what a bike party is please watch the video below and hopefully most your questions will be answered



We will start small. But Changwon Bike Party will catch on and win the hearts and minds of this beautiful community! Let's grow this sucker! And it all starts with you.
