September 13th: 3rd Annual Bike & Dine
See what makes Lockport such a special town by participating in one of their most beloved traditions! Bike and Dine is a bike riding trip around the community that includes beautiful scenery and a delicious lunch (for fuel, of course!). Riders will meet at the South Public Landing Parking Lot and the Canal and participate in a guided ride for anywhere from two to fifteen miles. Riders of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to come along for the sights and fun time! Once the ride is completed, the event will conclude with a mouthwatering lunch at one of Lockport’s many eateries. Invite your loved ones to join you, or challenge friends to a friendly race! Either way, Bike & Dine is a great way to experience all that Lockport has to offer.
