BikeDC, Sunday, May 22nd.  Closed streets, riding at your own pace, coasting down the GW Parkway with other cyclists.  BikeDC is 20 miles of no cars and great views, and perfect way to spend a Sunday. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.

BikeFEST, Saturday, June 11th.  BikeFEST is the summer’s hottest ticket.  A bike-carnival themed fundraiser and celebration of cycling in the region: there will be bike art, music, games, raffles, a live auction, and a bike-build contest between local bike shops using recycled parts & held to a strict price limit of $250.  It’s a fun way to celebrate cycling and help support our serious mission to get more people onto bikes and make cycling safer and better for all.  CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS.
