USU's Aggie Blue Bikes Hosts Fifth Annual Cache Valley Bike Festival
The Cache Valley community is invited to celebrate national bike month at the fifth annual Cache Valley Bike Festival Saturday, May 15, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Merlin Olsen Park in Logan. Utah State University’s Aggie Blue Bikes is hosting the event.
The festival promotes responsible bike riding by offering bike maintenance workshops taught by local bike shops.
Participants can listen to short seminars focused on how to ride a bike responsibly, bike overhaul, bike commuting and helmet and bike fit. Festival goers will also have the chance to find out about unique bike sports such as bike polo.
“With new bike infrastructure popping up in Logan, it is important for all cyclists and motorists to learn what is acceptable behavior both inside and outside that infrastructure,” said Adam Christensen, manager of Aggie Blue Bikes.
Competitions will be held all day and require no entry fee. People can compete in a bike toss, slow race, drag race and tire patch competition. Prizes will be awarded in all competitions. New to the festival this year will be a bike swap, where people can sell their bikes.
