We can almost 100% guarantee you that the ride will not even look a little teeny tiny bit like this.

Want to support the Bolts? Of course you do. And tomorrow night (May 18), you can — in a super-easy, fun way. Join the playoff Bolts Rally Bike Ride. The ride starts at Ferg's (1320 Central Ave., St. Pete), because of course it does, at 5:30 p.m. The Lightning Girls will be there and Big Storm's gonna make sure there are plenty of beer specials for the over-21 crowd. From there, it's a six-mile ride to Parks & Rec (400 1st Ave. S., St. Pete), where there'll be more beer specials and the Lightning Girls again.

If you ride, the Lightning would love for you to wear your Bolts attire and, of course, be all thunderlicious.

The ride itself is free, but it'd be cool if you pre-registered here. If you're bringing kids, the group encourages you to slap a helmet on 'em. And of course, you can always rent a bike from a Coast Bike Share Hub — they're also one of the sponsors for this ride.
