What we did

Urban Night transformed the city into a playground of lights, motion, and adrenaline. Cyclists rode through glowing streets, neon-lit alleyways, and iconic landmarks — all under the cover of darkness. With music pulsing at checkpoints and the hum of wheels on pavement, the ride was electric. It wasn’t just about distance — it was about rhythm, style, and owning the night.
