Bike Prom returned in 2026 louder, bolder, and punk rock as ever! Fort Collins’ cycling community showed up decked out in leather jackets, studs, creative DIY outfits, and plenty of bike-powered style for an unforgettable night celebrating bikes, music, and community.
The evening kicked off at Prost Brewing Company, where guests gathered for a lively pre-party before the ride. Mitch and Casi Popko helped everyone put the finishing touches on their prom attire by creating beautiful corsages and boutonnieres with flowers generously donated by Paul Wood Florist.
As the sun began to set, riders rolled out for the annual Bike Prom Parade, filling the streets with colorful bikes, great music, and plenty of smiles on the way to The Lyric.
Once everyone arrived, the party shifted into high gear. DJs Two Scoops and Jimeni kept the dance floor packed all night with an energetic mix of music, while Veloco returned with their crowd-favorite Gold Sprints, bringing out plenty of friendly competition and cheering from spectators. Guests also enjoyed browsing the silent auction, capturing memories throughout the evening, and celebrating the creative punk rock-inspired outfits that made this year’s theme such a hit.
One of the night’s biggest highlights came when Mitch Popko’s name was drawn as the winner of the Priority Bikes e-bike raffle, sending him home with an incredible new ride.
A huge thank you goes out to our incredible sponsors–Priority Bikes, The Barefoot Team, and Bachus & Schanker—for helping make Bike Prom 2026 possible. We’re also incredibly grateful to the volunteers, donors, and everyone who came out to support Bike Fort Collins and make this event another unforgettable celebration of our cycling community.

Thank you for making Bike Prom 2026 one for the books. We can’t wait to see what you wear—and where you’ll ride—to Bike Prom next year!
