Celebrate the last of summer's cruel and unrelenting heat by getting on your bike and going to Clark Park at the end of this month. There you'll be joined by other hip local cycling enthusiasts looking to claim victory over their cohorts in feats of bike prowess. Plus, there will totally be PBR and stuff, because of course.

It's time to shine up that neon colored fixie you've kept stored away all summer because Heavy Pedal and Fix-Set's Summer Bike Games are kicking off at Clark Park on Saturday, September 27, at 7 p.m.
Whether you're the king (or queen) of track stands or you've got an incurable need for speed that's only satiated by riding your blazing saddle in an alley cat race, there'll be an event to get you back on your bike and riding.
For spectators, the event promises some free beer courtesy of PBR, and DJ JJ Keo pumping up the jams.
Entrance to the event is $5 for the events and after party and includes a raffle ticket with purchase. Additional raffle tickets can be bought for $2. For more information and to keep updated, visit the Summer Bike Games Facebook event page.

Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
