BIKE THE TRAIL
Light up your bike and ride the Trail!
We’ve got a suggested route, safety tips, free lights and a Lighted Bike Ride to get you looking flashy – literally!
It’s the best way to see the lights.
Lighted Bike Ride Jan. 5, 2023
Join us and Downtown on the Go for a Lighted Bike Ride around the Light Trail!

6-8:30pm Jan. 5. All-ages, FREE. Sign-up required.
Alma Tacoma, 1322 Fawcett Ave.
NOTE: There may be some construction near Alma. Take care and please wear a helmet!
Suggested Bike Route
Woohoo! Here’s our suggested bike route through the Light Trail, designed by Downtown on the Go for maximum light art and minimum hill climbing… (well, okay, it IS Tacoma, after all.)
Bike Safety Tips
It’s dark, and it’s winter. Be safe with these tips.
- BRING LIGHTS! Front, back, side, reflective spokes, headlamp, fairy lights. The more, the better.
- WEAR A HELMET! We cannot stress this enough. You only have one brain. Protect it.
- DRESS in layers, with something bright and waterproof on the outside.
- STAY COZY with gloves, a hat, a bandanna/tube and warm socks.
- BE ALERT! Save your phone for when you stop. Look around. Expect that cars will not see you.
