June 17th – Bike in Shapes’ 5th Birthday!

erin3The results are in and chewy! To commemorate Bike in Shapes’ 5th birthday, you voted to ride the timeless “Gummy Worm & Swedish Fish” shapes along a river loop. We’ll meet Wednesday June 17th, at 7pm at Oakshire Public House. $1 of all proceeds will go to benefit the Be Noble Foundation from 5pm-10pm. Thanks to Oakshire Brewing for supporting this cause.

Be Noble was established honoring a dear friend and regular of Bike in Shapes, Erin Noble (pictured in center). Be Noble promotes environmental stewardship and social causes in memory of Erin. With community and public support, Be Noble recently saved the Amazon Creek Headwaters and surrounding forest where Erin hiked regularly. June 17th is part of #NobleWeek. Give a bear hug, hike a trail, share something Noble. Be Noble. 5thbdaygummywormswedishfish

May 20th – Bikeosaurus

May is Bike Month, and there are numerous rides to be traversed…including this roar from Bike in Shapes. Michael Crichton may have introduced you to the velociraptor, brontosaurus, and the t-rex, but have you ever heard of the bikeosaurus? You know, the dino who likes to bike commute in its lady bug helmet.  Let’s excavate the Bikeosaurus on Wednesday, May 20th, leaving Hop Valley in the Whittaker at 7pm. Thanks to Hop Valley Brewing Co. for hosting us!bikeosaurushopvalley

February 19th – Chuck Norris

Let’s open a can of…Chuck Norris, the shape. We’ll meet at the Elk Horn Brewery at 7pm this Thursday, February 19th, and strut from there. In honor of this ride, here’s a few Chuck Norris Bike Facts you may not know:

  • When Chuck Norris rides bicycles, cars use the sidewalk.
  • Chuck Norris’ bicycle doesn’t have a handle bar, it has a fist-le bar.
  • Light is jealous of the speed of Chuck Norris’ single speed.

We will have more new Chuck Norris Bike Facts posted each day on Facbook leading up to the ride…https://www.facebook.com/bikeinshapes

January 29th – Frosty Pole

Nothing is quite as delicious as a frosted ski lift frame or a brisk winter Bike in Shapes ride, eh Harry? Harry?! Let’s dumb down this week and ride the “Oh look, frost!” Frosted Pole from Dumb & Dumber 1 (the good one). We’ll meet at The Cannery this Thursday at 7pm, and sally forth on a short-sweet rectangle, before returning to a nice cold frosty.
