Fun Bike Ride
The 2026 Fun Bike Ride has concluded. This page remains online so visitors can see the kind of low-pressure, community-centered transportation activities the Festival includes.
The ride
When and where in 2026
The Fun Bike Ride left at 1:00 pm on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary School (44 McKeen Street, Brunswick) and returned to the school when the loop was done.
This was a slow-paced, easy ride for all ability levels, led by volunteers from the Bicycle Coalition of Maine and local cycling groups.
Details for 2027 bicycle activities, if offered, will be announced later.
What to expect
You will get a little fresh air, stretch your legs, and see more of Brunswick in good company—without treating the day like a race or a training ride.
If your bike has been waiting in the garage, this is a low-pressure reason to tune it up, plan a safe route to the Festival, and make cycling part of your Earth Day.
Like all activities at the Festival, the ride is free and open to anyone who wants to join.
Before you ride
- Bring a bike. The Bicycle Coalition of Maine will have a tent at the Festival where you can find a volunteer to help you make sure your bike is in safe working order: check your tires, brakes, and chain.
- Wear a helmet and dress for the weather; spring mornings can still feel cool on a bike.
- Carry water if you like.
- Read the full assumption of risk disclaimer before joining.
- Children should stay with a responsible adult and ride at a pace that fits their experience.
- If you need accessibility details for getting to the meeting spot, see the Festival Program — Getting There or contact us.
