Pedal in the Holiday Parade

The Chapel Hill , Carrboro holiday parade will be taking place on Saturday, December 6th at 10AM. This year, the parade STARTS IN CARRBORO. Members of Shift Chapel Hill-Carrboro cordially invite you to join us.. On your bikes!

Since 2014, we have also given out coffee, and also sometimes delicious baked goods. We are back again with the coffee from Carrboro Coffee Roasters.

This is from the first time, 2014. I am giving out free coffee to parade watchers from my bike.

We want you to join us!

Ever wanted to be in a parade? Here is your chance. We’d love to see as many bikes as possible, especially cargo bikes carrying gifts and kids in Christmas sweaters. Bring what you have. Decorate it! Bring your kids bikes. The route is only 1.3 miles long and we will ride at a walking pace.

A cargo bike and a trailer, carries a tree and gifts!

How to join us

Meet us at Oak Avenue and Weaver St, Carrboro (near the PNC Bank) at 9:30 AM. We will be easy to spot, there will be bikes of all kinds, people in Santa hats, and me with my cargo bike and plenty of coffee if you need a morning jolt. Can we see you there?

We went with cargo bikes a couple of years ago to carry more coffee !
