Smart Bets: Bike Love

Posted on by Edwin Arnaudin

For the 11th year in a row, Bike Love kicks off Asheville on Bikes’ forthcoming slate of advocacy and events to advance the city’s urban and commuter bicycle culture and infrastructure. The 2018 edition takes place Saturday, Feb. 24, at Salvage Station and features music by local acts DJ Marley Carroll and Siamese Sound Club. There will also be a silent auction fundraiser with top bike gear from across the country and the chance to win a $500 bicycle voucher from the Western North Carolina Bicycle Dealers Association. The evening begins at 7 p.m. with a New Belgium Brewing Co. beer and small-bites reception, plus an intimate Siamese Sound Club set ($65, which includes AoB membership). The general admission portion runs 8 p.m.-1 a.m. via a discounted membership package deal ($35) or a standalone party ticket ($22). avl.mx/4mr. Photo by Autum Kirgan

Thanks for reading through to the end…

Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
