River Market Pavilions from 1pm to 3pm, and will close the event with a Rockabilly Fun Ride at 3pm through

Event elements include the Rat Rod Build-off and Silent Auction. Builders have been collecting old bicycles and

parts to put together newly styled, custom Rat Rod bicycles of every shape imaginable. Builders will offer certain

bikes at Silent Auction during this event, with the proceeds benefiting Recycle Bikes for Kids.

Spectators will have the opportunity to take in a show by The Southern BMX Stunt Show who will entertain

spectators with their high flying tricks and crazy bicycling skills, as well as an Urban Bike Trials demo featuring local

riders performing amazing acts of balance and fluid motion as they hop, bounce, swing and flip in and around objects

Participants can join in the fun testing their balance and stamina during two activities, including the Adult Trike Race

where full grown adults atop child sized tricycles and race to the finish line, and the Circle of Balance where riders

follow an ever growing tighter circle of bikers without losing balance or bumping into one another.

including beer.

Visit with representatives of the Wounded Warrior Ride who will complete the Little Rock portion of their event on

Saturday, but who will join us in furthering the celebration at Biketoberfest. Beer sales will benefit the Arkansas

was started in 2008 to provide bikes to kids who would not otherwise have one. We began

by buying used bikes but quickly discovered that people will give you their old bikes when they know you'll repair

them and give them to kids. Everyone remembers their first bike and they want to share that experience. We have

received over 5,000 bikes and have repaired and delivered over 4,500 of them. We always need more bikes. Just call

and we'll come pick up yours or you can drop it off at our shop or any local bike shop.

obstacles such as rocks, stairs, railings and virtually anything else without crashing, or even so much as touching a
