  • This year's Kids Bike Ride Scavenger Hunt is back to explore the story of the tour of Marquis de Lafayette on its 200th anniversary and to celebrate Bergen Square Day! 

  •  

  • Kids will travel our protected bike lanes and learn local history, all while collecting clues to win special prizes! Each station visited will result in receiving a piece of the puzzle to find Marquis de Lafayette. Each stamp will earn one raffle ticket for prizes. Participants may visit as many stations as they would like.

  • Don't want to go alone? BIKE JC will be organizing group rides! More information to come! 

  • No Bike? This year we're partnering with Citi Bike to Provide free Day Passes! Scooters are also accepted! (PLEASE NOTE: The number of requests has exceeded the number of available day passes and new registrants will be added to a wait list.)

  • No Helmet? We'll be giving them away for free! Helmets are required to participate. 

  • We'll also be providing snacks and water, so you can stay safe and hydrated!

  • The ride will end at Bergen Square Day located in Bergen Square (Bergen Avenue at Academy Street) which runs from 12:00pm to 6:00pm and will feature music, food, activities, vendors, and raffle prizes.

  • This is a rain or shine event, however, if extreme weather is forecast, the event will be rescheduled to Sunday, September 29th.
