Come One, Come All to BikeFest: WABA's Summer Fundraiser & Celebration!

Fundraising for Area Cycling

Saturday, June 11th, 2011

Come enjoy a celebration of all things cycling including food, drink, and dessert provided by Scoops2U. There's something for everyone at BikeFest; carnival-cycle games, a silent auction and raffle, sideshow performances, live music and dancing featuring DC's Second String Band and WABA's very own DJ Jennder, as well as bicycle art by Cranky Style, palm readings, photobooth and much more!

The highlight of the evening will be a showcase of WABA's first-ever BikeBuild Contest. Three regional bike shops are going head to head to create custom bicycles with only 3 rules - builders can't spend over $250, may use recycled parts, and MUST be as creative as possible! This year's participants include Oasis Bike Works, City Bikes and Papillon Cycles. Guests will crown BikeFest's Best Builder of 2011 with a combination of their votes and a live auction, which means three lucky attendees will take home their very own handcrafted bikes. We'll have other items up for auction and raffle, including a brand new Trek Allant bike from Revolution Cycles. Check out our facebook page for contest pictures and event updates!

All proceeds from the evening will benefit WABA's advocacy, safety and education programs. WABA is the region's leading voice promoting cycling in two local governments, in the classroom and on the streets. To learn more about WABA's mission and the changes being made in your community please visit our blog.
