Most of us have a 9-to-5 to contend with this week, but don’t let that keep you out of the BikeFest spirit! Head out on a school night for:

Pittsburgh Bike Polo Rookie Night: Spin by the Arsenal Park polo court on Tuesday night and check out one of the funnest things you can do on two wheels on an enclosed roller hockey court. Free to play, no experience required! See the full description in the calendar below.

Bike-In Movie at the Rooftop Shindig:  On Wednesday, you can catch a Pittsburgh sunset from the roof of the Theater District to the sounds of Grand Piano, enjoy food from some local vendors, and enjoy a screening of Pee Wee’s Big Adventure after the sun goes down. Free admission– BYO chair! Rain date: Thursday, 8/14.

The Wheel Mill Footdown Classic: A foot down tournament for the ages!  For all bikes and skill levels. Many games will be played but only one lucky bike rider will roll away with the cash prize at Thursday’s event. $3 to enter.

The Pittsburgh Hash House Harriers’ Bike Hash: Pick up the trail in Millvale on Thursday evening, and follow the hares to an unknown destination with pub stops along the way. Free to ride — but bring cash for adult beverages!

Check out the full BikeFest calendar for all of this week’s events. And share your thoughts and photos on social media using hashtag #BikeFestX.
