Hey Friends! We’d love for you to join us for a special night of riding bikes, dancing under the stars, and listening to house music with good people. We’re super excited to share that DJ Colette (LA/Chicago) will be playing a two-hour set at our final stop to close out the night. It’s going to be amazing—we can’t wait! 🕺 Here’s the plan: 6ish – Meet at Eastbank Esplanade→ hang out, meet people, get ready 7ish – Roll out 8ish – First stop → nearby store run + pop-up dance party 8:30ish – Back on the road 10-12 – Afterparty with DJ Colette 🎶 💡 A few things to know before you come: 🔥 Please leave no trace—pack out what you pack in. 🛒 No official store stop, but both party spots are close to stores. 🚫 Be respectful. If you’ve been kicked off other rides, this one isn’t for you. 🔊 Got your own sound bike? Awesome! Please take note of the following: 📞 Coordinate with the ride leader before the ride so we can keep things smooth. 🙅 Once we arrive at the afterparty, please turn your speakers off—we’ve got plenty of sound. 🎵 We’ll be sharing a ride mix on SoundCloud the day of—feel free to play it during the ride. 🔊 If your speaker’s sound clashes with the main system or others nearby, we may ask you to turn it down or ride further back. 🎒 Things you may want to bring with you: - Bike helmet - Bike lights - Water - Snacks - Layers - Comfortable shoes - Phone + portable charger - Tarp or blanket - Bike lock - Cup or bottle - Earplugs - Sunscreen/bug spray - Trash bags - Wet wipes / paper towels 💬 Want to help out with this ride or future ones?

On the decks, Colette combines the tunefulness of classic pop songs with the thump of underground house of her hometown. She was voted one of the best DJ’s in Los Angeles by LA Times and her love and devotion to the authentic house sound of hometown Chicago can be heard in every set, and generations of diehard fans never fail to appreciate it. Colette's album 'Hypnotized' was one of the most downloaded House dance albums on iTunes featuring the singles “What Will She Do For Love”, “Didn’t Mean To Turn You On” and “Feelin’ Hypnotized” and Billboard named her album ‘When The Music's Loud’ one of the top 20 albums of the year. In 2023 she celebrated her 10 year anniversary of ‘When The Music's Loud’. In 2024 we saw more new releases on Candy Talk, SubLevel & No Fuss and a studio album named “Flashback” is set for release soon.
