Grab your bike, water bottle, a few friends, and hit the streets of Rockford for the Cycle on 2nd bike ride! This recreational, non-competitive community bicycle ride is held on the second Sunday in September annually. This year, the event is on September 8, 2024. 

​

From 8:00 - 10:00 a.m. the southbound lanes of North 2nd Street from the Auburn interchange to State Street will be closed to vehicular traffic and open to people on bikes! At 10 a.m. the streets will re-open to cars. Throughout the event, bike riders are encouraged to stop by the bike repair stations hosted by our local bike shops for any repair needs or just to say “hello!” 

​

No need to register, this event is free to open to everyone. Kids are welcome — make it a fun family activity! Kids can also participate in a safety rodeo (and get fitted for a free helmet!) 

​

We are incredibly pleased to be able to keep this ride free thanks to many partners and sponsors listed on the bottom of this page.
