East Side Bike Club Saturday Morning Ride Gather 9:30A, Ride at 10:00A

Growing in popularity year-over-year, the East Side Bike Club rides on Saturday morning have become a weekly spring, summer, and fall tradition for cyclists across the region. Full of bells, horns, chants, and cheers, this laid-back ride is calling your name on Saturday 7/19. Free to join, just show up, and explore the beauty of the various diverse neighborhoods that make up the largest section of our city, with the people working every day to grow a stronger, healthier, community for us all. Gather at the MLK statue at MLK park.

SkyRide 190! Early Departure This Year!

Sunday, (7:45A – 11:30A): Early departure this year!! We’ll open up registration at 6:30AM in order to make sure everyone’s ready to depart at 7:45AM. The Thruway Authority has granted us permission to add I-190N to our ride so long as everyone is off of I-190N by 10AM.

This year will be a single loop, ride. We’ll ride from Outer Harbor’s Terminal B concert venue to Tifft Street. Then RT-5 Skyway to I-190N off ramp. We’ll ride North on I-190N to Porter Ave, turn around, and ride South on I-190N, use the Church St on ramp as an off-ramp, and get back on the Skyway, and ride it all the way back to Tifft Street, then Fuhrmann, back to the party.

Lakeside Bike Bash Returns!

(10:00A – 1:00P): We’re building out a more comprehensive post party than ever before. Stick around in Outer Harbor’s concert venue with its massive tents for refreshments including food, beer, seltzer and music. We know as much as Buffalo loves a good recreational event out on our area roads, we love a good post party, too. That’s why this year’s will be bigger than ever!
(Event is open to everyone. For registrants age 21+, two tickets for refreshments will be included in your packet. Additional tickets will also be on sale for $5.)

Thank You Sponsors!

The ride will start and end at Buffalo Outer Harbor Concert Venue, Terminal B, 825 Fuhrmann Boulevard, Buffalo, NY 14203.

Riders, we’re thrilled to say that the Ohio Street Bridge has reopened to make it easier to get down to the Outer Harbor than last year! While there is car parking available, we encourage riding your bike to the event wherever possible, and we will release rallying points and additional packet pickup locations later this summer.

From the concert venue, we’ll use both bike paths to approach Fuhrmann Boulevard and make a right, then a left on Tifft, then through the roundabout to board the Skyway! This will spread out the crowd a bit before everyone begins their charge up the Skyway. Go up, down, take the I-190N exit and ride North on I-190N. Within I-190N, you’ll turn around from the left lane to the right lane at Porter Ave and head south.  At the Church Street on-ramp, you’ll exit to Church Street, and get yourself back onto the Skyway.

This is an 12-mile, SINGLE LOOP year. Once you’ve completed it, time to party! Our agreement with the Thruway Authority mandates that everyone is off the I-190 by 10:00AM SHARP. 

Maps are cool and all, but why don’t we just walk you through it on video!

Children under 10 must be under their parents’ conveyance (child seat, trailer, or tag-along). Children under 5 are free!
