BZP Riverside: Biking Moai with Riverside Light Parade

In 2022, Rodney, John, and Gigi had a thought that changed Riverside forever: nearby cities were doing it, so why not us?

What started as a passion for bike life and community has grown into one of Riverside's most breathtaking sights; up to 400 riders lighting up the streets every month, with spectators stopping in their tracks to film something they've never quite seen before.

That's the heart of the Riverside Light Parade. And now they're bringing that same magic to the Blue Zones Project.

Join us for the Blue Zones Project Biking Moai, hosted by Riverside Light Parade, a 10-week Saturday morning ride through some of the most iconic parts of our city. This is a relaxed, easy-paced ride designed for everyone, whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just dusting off your bike for the first time in years. No race, no rush, just good people, fresh air, and the kind of effortless conversation that only happens when you're rolling through a city you love.

Inspired by the Okinawan tradition of Moai, the lifelong social circles behind some of the world's longest-living communities, this group is proof that the best friendships are built in motion.

Date: Saturday, April 18 – June 20, 2026

Time: 8:00 AM-9:00 AM

Location: Fairmount Park, 2601 Fairmount Blvd, Riverside, CA

All are welcome, beginners, enthusiasts, and everyone in between. Just bring your bike, (or rent one from Riverside Light Parade) your helmet, and your best Saturday energy.

Come for the ride. Stay for the community.
