Community Bicycle Gathering and Bash!

Celebrating bike advocacy, local cycling organizations and Bike Culture

A fund-raiser for Bike Pittsburgh

6 PM-12 AM
121 7th St, 6th floor, Downtown Pittsburgh
The kickoff event to our signature Bikefest series is growing.

What was once an informal gathering of cyclists is now Bikefest CBGB — a full-fledged regional cycling event. For year one, we have 13 organizations represented. Each group will have 2 representatives on-site to discuss their activities and how to get involved. Some will have some pretty wild activities. (um, Bike Tire Bowling?)

The production and atmosphere have been upgraded significantly. Restorative Events, Clearstory Creative, and Impact Audio have teamed up to provide a leap in production quality that will leave you amazed. Restorative Events will provide compostable, recyclable and reusable products in all areas of production — the only waste there will be the waste you bring. Clearstory Creative has joined as a sponsor and is adding a substantial lighting and decor effort. Impact Audio finishes the job with their world-class audio rig.

Speaking of that rig — Local ladies Flotilla Way make one of their final appearances. LASER CRUNK’s Cutups and Keeb$ make a special dance-tastic closing set. Ed Um and Mary Mack will round it out by tearing up the 1s and 2s.

Food/Dessert/Drink — covered. Whole Foods. Dozen. East End Brewing.

Proceeds? They go to Bike Pittsburgh so they can advocate for cyclists across the region.

Be there.
