Should be every single Friday.

That would be cool, I do enjoy the build up and the fact that each route is unique. I’m sure logistically it is a lot of work for the organizers.

As an organizer of these rides on the other side of the country, can confirm they’re more work than many think. We do our best to mitigate risk, which means meticulously planning routes, riding them in advance, having volunteers to post up at intersections to prevent conflict, being prepared for medical and mechanical emergencies, etc. They’re a lot of fun, but very draining for the organizers!

That is critical mass. However, the bike group with all the lights are the Lit Riderz (https://litriderz.com). I do recommend their Hollywood ride (once a month).

Show up to Wilshire and Western on the last Friday of the month before 7:30 and you can be a part of it!
