WINNIPEG CYCLISTS UNITE!!!!
The Bike Lab is turning 4 & that means it’s time to party!
On Tuesday, Nov. 3rd. Join the UWSA Bike Lab in celebrating it’s 4th Birthday at the Good Will Social Club at 8:30pm. The night will kick off with the gorgeous, melodic compositions of Sibyl, who boast a least two hardcore ICE RIDERS among their ranks. This will be followed by bike mechanics races, pixie bike races, a tights competition and Another Amazing Super Fun Mystery Band Which We Are Not Allowed To Announce Until The Day Before and some stellar, dance-worthy DJ-ing from the WRENCH’s own Robin Ellis! Don’t miss your chance to bid on a solid selection of refurbished bikes and other donated prizes! We’ll see you Tuesday!
We love you all & we’d love if you could share this special day with us! We’re happy to have been around as long as we have & are super proud of being a part of the growing Winnipeg cycling community! (Don’t you want to just high-five every bike that goes by?!)
See you there!
