It’s that time of year again, time for our fourth annual Bike Prom!
Some people love their cars, but our love affair is with the humble bicycle, and we want to celebrate that romance in style. So dust off those cumberbuns, iron that dashing dress, and cruise the streets with us, dance music and disco ball in tow.
Bike Prom is a celebration of our intimate relationship with our bicycles, so consider your bike as your date and pin a corsage on the handlebars. Of course you’re welcome to double-date with another person-bike couple, or to get all freaky with the two-people-on-one-bike thing.
Our route for the evening:
Meet at 7pm at the Bike Church, 703 Pacific Ave.
Head north on Pacific, Right on Cooper, through the TJ’s parking lot and Right on the levee bike path.
