The popular free event sees the seafront stretch fully closed to vehicles for one night only between 19:00 - 22:00 to allow cyclists to get a sneak preview of the Blackpool Illuminations ahead of the annual Switch-On on Friday.
Ride the Lights is attended by thousands of people every year and has become a firm favourite.
As well as enjoying the ride, families, visitors and local residents were also well entertained at the Ride the Lights hub located at the Tower Festival Headland opposite The Blackpool Tower.
Hundreds of children and families from all over the North West and beyond attended the event and many decorated their bikes with a lights theme with a myriad of colourful and exciting designs on display, including a stunning log flume-themed design and even a dodgem themed bike!
In order to keep safe, there are a few things to remember:
Please be aware that the tramway will be operational throughout the ride, take special care in the area around North Pier/Metropole Hotel.
All bikes must have a minimum of one white light at the front and one red light at the back.
It is highly recommended that all participants should wear a cycle helmet.
A responsible adult must accompany all children.
Marshalls and First Aiders will be on hand along the route.
Bike Doctors and support vehicles will be on hand to look after breakdowns.
The road will re-open to traffic at 10pm. Please try to plan your ride to reach your destination by this time, and be aware of traffic after this time.
Please note that there will be live filming and photography at this event. Any pictures provided maybe used by VisitBlackpool for promotional purposes. If you do not wish to be included, please contact VisitBlackpool Web Team
