Family-Friendly Bike Ride Returns to the Pacific Electric Trail

Ride together, light up the trail, and make the most of a summer night

August 10, 2025

If you’ve been looking for an excuse to dust off the bikes and enjoy a Southern California evening, here it is. Rancho Cucamonga is bringing back the Summer Nights, Summer Lights Community Bike Ride on Saturday, August 23 at 6:00 p.m., and it’s the perfect mix of fresh air, exercise, and neighborly fun.

The ride kicks off at the Milliken Ave. Trailhead on the Pacific Electric Trail, with two options to suit your pace: a relaxed 4-mile family route or an 8-mile stretch for those ready to put in a little extra pedal power. As the sun dips low, you’ll cruise under that golden-hour glow that makes summer nights here feel a little magical.

Everyone who rides will snag a free set of bike lights, and the first 50 riders to sign in will score a free helmet, because nothing says “ready to roll” like new gear. Maybe you’ve got kids eager to test out their bikes, or you just want an excuse to get outside before the summer nights slip away. Either way, this is a fun, safe and easy way to spend a Saturday evening together.
