43% More Bike Culture
Attention cyclists and South By Southwest attendees, the Bike Hugger Mobile Social SXSW on March 14th just keeps getting better and better. This is quickly becoming one of the premier official SXSW events, with the amount bike culture (awesomeness) multiplying as the event grows near.
The Urban Ride
The Urban Ride route is set, featuring a parade up and down Congress and a lap around the Texas Capitol. It’s all about fun and celebrating bikes in all their forms along with tech, art, and design intersections with cycling that an event like SXSW brings.
Anyone can ride, even without a SXSW badge. Everyone who wants to ride in Austin with us can come on out. You just need to sign up for the ride. And, all riders who sign up will be on the list to attend the BBQ and party.
The BBQ and Party
This is an official SXSW event, and you’ll need a SXSW badge, or be a participant in the Urban Ride to attend. Believe me when I tell you, if you’re a SXSW’er you won’t want to miss this party, even if you can’t make the ride. The party will feature live entertainment, great food and drink, and awesome people to mix with.
Like the ride, we’re asking you to let us know if you’re attending the BBQ so that we can plan appropriately.
