     A lot of cities are getting in on the "Bike Night" action anymore. Plant City has done one for years. Ft. Myers also has a good bike night that goes on 4 times a year during season. And another bike night that is quickly working for that "great Bike Night" status is in Cape Coral. Four times a year during tourist season, they close off 47th Terrace in Cape Coral and let the bikers party. The event is put on with the co-operation of the City Parks and Rec. department and has everything from food vendors to bike vendors and live music for the crowds to enjoy. This event has grown more and more each time we are there to cover it, and it gets better and better. Even on a night when rains kept away a good part of the crowd, I would estimate that there were still 3 to 4 thousand people there! If you haven't been to one of Cape Coral's Bike Nights, then take the time and ride down for their next one in December. It's worth the cruise!
