Our passion never sleeps!
Bike Night is an event combining bikes, passion, people. In 2017, the second edition in Milan was incredible: almost 600 people who have crossed the city, Piazza Duomo at night, and then immersed in the dark along the Navigli biking to Lake Maggiore. How many of you in 2018?
Bike Night arrives in Milan for the second time, and is ready to satisfy the city’s ever increasing passion for bikes. We start from the restored piazza Leonardo, pass through Piazza Duomo, under the Madonnina, and dive into Milan’s night cycling along the Navigli. We will then leave Milan following the Naviglio Grande as far as the Ticino by Sesto Calende.
The only way to enjoy Milan at night and discover its surrounding natural wonders. A cycling celebration to pedal together, in collaboration with UpCycle. See you at Departure Village to enjoy its zones, three refreshment points along the path and breakfast in Arona’s city centre, by the shores of Lake Maggiore.
Registrations are open.
