Organizers have described Bike Summer as an "open source festival" because of its inclusive nature, with activities held from June through August. Participants sometimes wear costumes.
The cycling advocacy group Shift 2 Bikes is among organizers. The 2020 event was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. There were Star Wars- and Taylor Swift-themed rides in 2021.
