\"Muhammad<\/a>CAPE CORAL, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

Cape Coral Bike Night is returning Saturday evening to Southeast 47th Terrace, featuring motorcycles, live music, food, and entertainment. <\/p>\n

Preparations for the event are underway, with vehicle barriers placed along SE 47th Terrace sidewalks and signs prohibiting overnight parking. <\/p>\n

Eric Abraham, owner of Soul Rebel Cycles in Cape Coral, shared his thoughts on the changes. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo, it’s not the same. It’s definitely not the same event it used to be,\u201d Abraham said. <\/p>\n

Last year, motorcyclists were informed they could no longer park on SE 47th Terrace. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t really like it. But either way, you can’t deny it brings a lot of people, you know what I mean? So I don’t love it. I liked it the way it was before, but we still have a good time,\u201d Abraham said. <\/p>\n

The event, which takes place three times a year, has implemented the changes to enhance safety, according to Cape Coral police. <\/p>\n

Jeremy Coon, owner of Lucky U Cycles in Fort Myers, expressed support for the new format. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf that’s what they feel is best for us, you know, then let’s go that route. I think it’s a good thing,\u201d Coon said. <\/p>\n

For Coon, the event is more about the experience of riding and connecting with others. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s all about the ride to get there and hang out,\u201d Coon said. <\/p>\n

Motorcyclists are now required to park at the Thunder Zone parking lot on SE 10th Place. <\/p>\n

Abraham and Coon hope future changes will satisfy all attendees. <\/p>\n

\u201cCouldn’t really see it. It was like dark, kind of odd. But, you know, it seems like each time we go, they’re changing little things to make it better. I think they will,\u201d Abraham said. <\/p>\n

Cape Coral police are asking everyone to stay safe and act responsibly during the event, which begins at 5 p.m. Saturday and ends at 10 p.m. <\/p>\n
