Final SkyRide: A Legacy of Bike Culture | Buffalo News

The twelfth and final Buffalo SkyRide rolled into town this past weekend, turning highways into a vibrant, car-free celebration of cycling culture — but with a bittersweet ending. Thousands of riders, families, and all levels of cyclists flooded the Skyway and I-190, creating unforgettable views and conquering fears of heights, all while raising funds for GObike. Though sponsors helped, rising costs made sustainability impossible. For groups like the East Side Bike Club, it’s a huge loss — SkyRide was more than a ride; it was a symbol of community, health, and a bike-friendly future. This year’s route even expanded to include the northbound I-190, a fitting finale for an event that constantly pushed boundaries. Even as the ride ends, organizers hope its spirit will inspire a city that truly values cycling and walking. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
