Hey cyclists — here's a fun event to gear up for. This fall, the Lexington Area Metropolitan Planning Organization + the City of Lexington have teamed up again to bring back Lex Glow Ride, a celebration of bikes and bike safety to coincide with the time change.

This family-friendly event is a great opportunity for riders of all ages + experience levels — even beginners) — to learn about bike and alternative transportation safety.

This year's Glow Ride will take place on Saturday, Nov. 4 at the Brighton Trail behind Ashley Home Furniture (1750 Bryant Rd.), with the festival kicking off at 5 p.m., and the ride starting at 7 p.m.
