The End of Bike Month?

The End is Near and it’s LOADS OF FUN!

Bike Month 2019 is almost over but there is still lots of bike-related fun to be had.

The Last Breakfast

Bike SLO County helped kick off the start of Bike Month 2019 with a bike breakfast at the Kitchen and is thrilled to co-host a bike breakfast behind SLO Guild Hall with the fine folks at Peak Racks on Friday, May 31 from 7-9 AM. As always, bring reusable plates, cups, silverware if you have them. If you don’t we’ll have stuff from Table Ware Share so you don’t have to drink coffee straight from the pot.

What: Bike Breakfast

Where: SLO Guild Hall, 2880 Broad St, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 back in the Eucalyptus grove.

When: Friday May 31, 7-9 AM

Bikes and Beauty

This year our annual Bike Fashion Show, Bikes & Beauty, is moving to Saturday June 1st. Join us as we bid a huge farewell to Bike Month 2019 in the San Luis Obispo Guild Hall.

This year’s theme is “Bike Prom”, so dress up, bring a date, make a bikey corsage…Bikes and Beauty brings people from all over SLO County together to cheer on members of our local bike community as they strut their stuff on the runway in an always amazing array of hand-made DIY bike fashion.

Come groove to the satisfying sounds of DJ Norm, enjoy tasty food from Mee Heng Low Noodle House, beer from Central Coast Brewing, wine from Peloton Cellars, Tablas Creek Vineyard and Diringer Estates, cocktails by T-Dubs, deliciously sweet cupcakes from Linnaea’s Cafe and we are proud to be partnering with Whalebird Kombucha on tap.

Entry this year is $5 and gets you one free drink ticket. Additional beverages and food are available for purchase with sales benefiting Bike SLO County.

The first 125 people to arrive at Bikes & Beauty will receive a complimentary 2019 Bikes & Beauty commemorative steel pint tumbler. Supplies are limited! Arrive early, stay late!

This year Bike SLO County’s Bike Kitchen rebuilt 3 bikes from the ground up and had them custom powder-coated to make three unique Bike SLO County bikes for this year’s silent auction.
