The Spoke Folks is a gift to this community because they are all about building up our local bike culture as they serve and travel across so many diverse lines of our city.
On Saturday this gem of our bike culture once again hosts a summer festival with their latest edition, Beer City Bike Fest, organizing around two things that often go hand in hand here: beer and bikes.
And lest you think this is like any other festival in the city, then have I got news for you: these events are electric and teeming with life as people ride or drive in from all over to participate in the many activities they will be showcasing on this special day.
First up, it is a free and family-friendly event that takes place on the street and lands just in front of their Logan Street facility. To help families expand bike education with their kids, The Spoke Folks’ Beer City Bike Fest will offer a station for kids to make their own flags or license plates for their bikes. There is even a kids bike parade featuring Bangarang Circus at 3:45 p.m. There are races as well that start at 1 p.m. and continue until 3 p.m.
At 5 p.m., the event kicks it up a notch with the live music portion of the day, featuring also a diverse array of acts including Hannah Laine, Jesse Ray and the Carolina Catfish, The Hoplites, Bike Tuff, Les Créatif, Lady Ace Boogie, and Cabildo.
Summer might be winding down but that doesn’t mean we can’t still rage for fun in the streets. Get to Beer City Bike Fest for another installment of great fun and education from The Spoke Folks.
