Ollie’s Bike Parade (Free Family Fun!)

Ollie’s Bike Parade is a free, all-ages bike parade celebrating community, childhood, and safer streets in Fort Collins. It’s the 3rd annual edition and serves as the kickoff for Open Streets Fort Collins, turning Laurel Street into space for people, play, and biking. The event starts at INCYCLE Fort Collins, with free bike-decorating supplies available while they last. This year’s theme is “The Movies,” so costumes and bike decorations inspired by film characters are encouraged (but not required). Movie characters will also appear during the parade for extra “movie magic.” Decorating begins at 9:00am, and the parade rolls out at 10:00am sharp—arrive early. Bring your bike, friends, and family for a cheerful, crowd-supported ride. Helmets are required. After the parade, continue the fun at Open Streets Fort Collins with more free, family-friendly activities.
