WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11TH, 2025
Join us for a spring evening bike tour of downtown Columbia with stops for local microbrew samples!
This fun, easy, and social ride is the perfect way to explore the city. Don’t feel like biking? The route is also walkable, so everyone can join in the fun. Come dressed for an evening out and ready to enjoy good brews, good food, and good company.
Tickets are $40 and include event registration, a happy hour, and microbrew samples paired with tasty appetizers. Tickets will also be available at check-in—cash or card accepted.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Getting to the start
This is a bike ride, so ride your bike (or walk) to the start at CycleX!
Parking will also be available in the CycleX parking lot.
Stay safe
If you're going to ride after dark, YOU MUST BRING LIGHTS! To stay safe and legal, we recommend having a white front light and a red rear light. If you don’t have lights, you can pick them up from any of the local bike shops.
We will provide snacks before and during the ride, but we encourage you to eat before you arrive.
Please be sure you know what the traffic laws and rules of the road are while you’re on a bike. We will expect everyone to abide by them to stay safe and legal.
Bring a bike lock. Not all locations will have bike racks but please use them when possible. Please don’t block sidewalks when parking your bike.
Bring your photo ID!
Please be sure to bring a photo ID — we will be verifying that each attendee is over 21.
SAG support
We will have a bike mechanic available for support during the ride to assist with any mechanical issues.
Stops and samples
We will give you a set of tickets, a map and a list of the stops before leaving. Trade in your ticket for a beer sample at each stop.
T-shirts
Bikes & Brews will have all pre-ordered t-shirts ready for pickup at the event check-in.
Additional shirts will be able to be purchased on-site at One to One Print Shop for $25.
Be sure to check out with us at the end of the ride!
We will have a check-out table at Broadway Brewery on 9th. Please be sure to stop at the table and check out so we know you’ve finished the ride.
