Detailed description (English): Night ride lasts 2 hours (22:00 -0:00) and is usually 20 km long.
Everybody is invited, those who can't imagine their lives without a bike and also those who just recently joined the bike loving family. The bike route will be based on the participants' ideas and wishes.
Every Friday at 21:00 we slowly start to gather in Radi Vidi Pats new home - Kuģinieku street 5., Liepaja. It will be possible to start brainstorming about the possible bike route ideas, to make sure your bike is in roadworthy condition and if needed fix it up real fast.
Reflective vests will be provided, but we invite you to take care of any other shiny lights you may need.
Lets leave the use of alcohol for the end of the evening or some other event :)
Have a great ride!
Detailed description (original language): Nakts velo braucieni ilgst 2 stundas (22:00 - 0):00)un ir parasti 20 km gari.
Aicināts ikviens - gan tie, kas bez ričuka savu dzīvi nespēj iedomāties, gan tādi, kuri tā mugurā bijuši tikai pāris reizes. Brauciena noslēgumā, atgriežoties Radi Velo Pats pagalmā būs iespēja kopīgi pasēdēt pie ugunskura un siltas tējas. Maršruts tiek balstīts uz pašu dalībnieku idejām un vēlmēm.
Katru piektdienu ap 21:00 pulcējāmies jaunās Radi Vidi Pats telpas - Kuģinieku iela 5. Tur būs iespējams jau sākt apspriest iespējamās maršruta idejas, pārliecināties, ka tavs velo ir braukšanas kārtībā un vajadzības gadījumā pielabot to, kas nepieciešams.
Atstarojošās vestes tiek nodrošinātas, bet pārējās spīdīgās atribūtikas aicinām ņemt līdzi pašiem. Esam redzami!
Alkohola lietošanu pietaupām vakara beigām vai kādam citam pasākumam!
Neaizmirstam par pasākuma vadlīnijām - https://www.facebook.com/naktsvelorats/posts/288489528150504 .
