Cycle the Arts

Cycle the Arts is Scottsdale’s annual bike tour of select public art in the city’s collection. The event is held during Bike Month, celebrated every April in cities throughout the valley. If you were unable to attend this year’s event, consider heading out on your own or with a group of friends on a self-guided tour. The 2026 event featured nine art stops along a 10-mile bike ride in northern Scottsdale. A free audio tour of this year’s highlighted public art is available through Bloomberg Connects, with information about the artworks and artists. Additional information about the city’s public art collection is available on the Scottsdale Public Art website.
