Random Acts of Brightness

Oct 27, 2020
6:00PM - 8:30pm
11400 Euclid Avenue

Bike Cleveland and volunteers have given away hundreds of free bike lights annually through the Random Acts of Brightness program. On Tuesday, October 27th from 6pm-8:30pm Bike Cleveland will host a modified Random Acts of Brightness event through a pop-up event.

The Random Acts of Brightness pop-up will be located in Downtown Cleveland on Public Square and in University Circle at Toby’s Plaza (in front of moCa). Bike Cleveland staff and volunteers will provide bike lights until time or supplies run out (whichever comes first). Unlit cyclists will be flagged down and called over so we can install front and rear light sets on their bikes.

Cyclists who stop by will also receive Bike Cleveland’s Biking in Cleveland Guide (a book that tells you the basics of biking safely) and a Cuyahoga County Bike Map.

EVENT DETAILS:

Date: Tuesday, Oct. 27th, 2020
Time: 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM (while supplies last)
Location:
- Downtown – Public Square in the greenspace (Facebook event here)
- University Circle – Toby’s Plaza in front of moCa (Facebook event here)

Disclaimer: Random Acts of Brightness will be operating outdoors, but we will require you to wear a mask as you approach our staff and volunteers, and observe social distancing using the lineup markings provided.

To receive your free lights, please be sure to bring your UNLIT BIKE, as we cannot give you a pair of lights without a bike present. We do this to ensure that we are distributing lights that can be put to use on bikes immediately.
