Gas Man Cometh 2026
A 15-mile night ride on the streets of Worcester, MA, in search of the 26 working gas streetlamps.
Bikes should be good for rough streets, and you’ll need lights. Be self-sufficient.
Costumes encouraged.
Show ‘n’ Go means no leader. Just show up.
What about the pace? And the types of bikes people use for this? Fritz’s Bicycle Shop says: “It can be done on a road bike, but it would be more fun on a hybrid, gravel bike, or MTB. The ride pace is reasonably casual but not slow.”
