We are cycling enthusiasts who meet up once a month to take a night bike ride through the streets and districts of Helsinki. We are a diverse group of people from all backgrounds and age ranges, connected by our common love of cycling and urban culture. Once a month we organize a bike ride with a different route and activity:  art, music, culture, nature, food, etc. Our goal is to be an active part of our community, discover new parts of the city, meet other people, and support local businesses or groups while promoting cycling as a healthy, fun, and eco-friendly lifestyle.
