Get Ready for Bike Love ‘18: Saturday, February 24th

by Asheville on Bikes

The 11th annual Bike Love, presented by New Belgium Brewing, returns to Salvage Station (468 Riverside Drive) on the evening of Saturday, Feb. 24th. Bike Love is Asheville on Bikes’ annual fundraiser event, and Bike Love ‘18 is poised to be our biggest, loveyest year ever!

What’s in store for Bike Love ‘18?

Bike Love ‘18 includes a cycle-centric silent auction, a bicycle raffle, photo booth, and the best music. An early reception for special ticket holders (it’s easy to be special; see details below) includes small bites, a free beer and a sneak peak at the auction goodies. DJ Marley Carroll and Siamese Sound Club featuring CaroMia Tiller provide the grooves to keep the passions pulsing throughout the night.

In other words—we’ve got something for everyone, no matter how into bikes you are, so tell a friend too, or like & share our event on Facebook.
