Y’all feeling festive yet in Tampa? Our bike-friendly city is gearing up to host the 12th annual Winter Wonder Ride at beautiful Curtis Hixon Park in downtown Tampa. Onbikes is on a mission to give bicycles and helmets to at-risk kids in Tampa Bay this holiday season. They’ve given more than 10,700 bikes since the launch of the organization.

The Winter Wonder Ride is a good time for a good cause. This event doubles as a celebration and a fundraiser. Participants will enjoy a seven-mile scenic ride through downtown Tampa and alongside Bayshore Boulevard before returning to Curtis Hixon Park for the Winter Wonder Ride Post-Ride Concert.

This year, the Winter Wonder Ride is back, brighter and than ever with our “Let it Glow” theme! Lighting up the night with neon vibes and retro feels, they’re pedaling back into the 80s & 90s. Headlining country music sensation LOCASH is back for an encore performance in Curtis Hixon Park.

What can you expect from this wild group? “Creating a signature sound that fuses modern Country and classic Heartland Rock with an edgy vocal blend, the Country music duo of singer-songwriters is widely known for mixing backwoods pride with big-picture positivity,” note event organizers in a release.
