It's time for ...Light My Ride
Starting November 1, and running for about a week, Cycle Kingston volunteers will be handing out free bicycle lights to encourage safe nighttime, evening and morning cycling.
The annual Light My Ride event happens around the time of year when the clocks are moved back one hour, making the late afternoon ride home from school or work darker than it was.
This year, the City of Kingston is supporting the initiative by contributing lights that will be given out.
Watch for us at locations around the city on the evenings of November 1, 2, 5 and 6. If you are interested in volunteering, contact organizer Hal Cain at veloist360@gmail.com.

2017 - A GREAT YEAR FOR CYCLE KINGSTON
2017 was another fantastic year for Cycle Kingston. We provided cycling safety education to about 2000 youth in the Kingston area, coordinated Cycling Week, handed out over 50 front lights during our Light My Ride campaign, and worked on various cycling and active transportation initiatives with Queen’s University, the City of Kingston (Active Transportation Master Plan; Vision Zero), and KFL&A Public Health. Our second year sponsoring the social enterprise Gear Up! was very successful – we employed 5 high school youth, one adult, and one post-secondary student to recycle and sell about 90 bicycles! We continue to promote cycling and cycling safety for everyone in Kingston. We could do more with your help!
