4/1/2017 -- Slow Bike Race at Island Brewing Company

Slow Bike Race contestants will ride a bicycle over a fixed course, slowest bike wins.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your…bicycles! In celebration of space, balance, and gravity, Island Brewing Company will host the 3rd Annual Slow Bike Race on Saturday April 1, from 12:00 – 4:00 pm. ‘Wait, wait, wait, what exactly is a Slow Bike Race,’ you may be asking. Here’s how it works: contestants will ride a two-wheeled bicycle over a fixed course, aiming for the longest interval of time. Slowest bike wins (feet go down, and you’re out, no fixed gears, or fancy shoes please!)

The format will include two divisions: 17 and under and 18 and over. The slowest three in each division will then compete for victory, bragging rights, and prizes. In short, it will be fun for the whole family. “This is an event that we look forward to all year,” says founder and owner Paul Wright. “The competition should be fun and fierce across all age groups. Moments of hilarity are guaranteed.”
