    EZ Breezy Ignite the Night

    Stoke the fire and stay inspired to ride this winter! Join this month's EZ Breezy bike ride as we take on the streets of Burlington, exploring our favorite ways to connect the city. This is a no-drop ride, which means that we stick together as a group. Bring your lights, bring a friend, and bring your bike! We'll bring the tunes and volunteers to help us roll safely. We meet at Local Motion HQ, 6 PM on the last Tuesday of every month, all year round.

    See the route

    Sign up to volunteer as either a sweeper or corker to help our ride stay EZ Breezy!

    This just in: EZ Breezy bike rides will be presenting a special preview of Claim the Lane. Join us for a quick teaser of the upcoming film before our usual, casual ride around town.

    This intimate character portrait follows Iraq veteran cyclist Roxy Bombardier coming out and transitioning while training for Vermont’s most grueling gravel race. Claim the Lane: Becoming Roxy spotlights the struggle for truth in ourselves and our relationships— choices and conflicts shared by everyone, regardless of identity. The second crowdfunding campaign for Claim the Lane film launches January 21st on seedandspark.com/fund/claim-the-lane
