slow BIKE RACE
This isn't just any bike race, it's a SLOW bike race- a race to a finish line that is won by being the slowest in the group. If you are really good at "hovering" on your bike, you stand a chance to win! This event will be a fundraiser, but winners also get prizes for best decorations and slowest rider. Join us just before the slow bike race for a decorated bike parade, too!
Bike decorating & parade
Kids (and kids at heart!), bring your bike and helmet and join us in decorating our bicycles before a decorated bike parade around Block 34! A parent or guardian must sign a waiver to participate in the parade.
Slow Bike race
muse be 12 years or older. Adults are encouraged to participate. Depending on participants, we may have two categories, one for 12-17 year olds and another for 18 and older. Bikes may be decorated before the event. Turtle-themed decorations are encouraged!
Observers can cheer on the riders and contribute to the best decorated bike. Money collected will go toward Payne County Youth Services.
Race rules
-
Riders must use a regular 2-wheeled bike. Helmets are required.
-
Riders must ride in their lane, going forward at all times. They cannot go backwards or across the lane lines.
-
There is a consolation mark; if no one makes it that far, then there may be a second "heat".
-
Touching the ground with feet or hands disqualifies the racer.
-
The winner is the last person across the finish line.
-
If no one crosses the finish line, the last person still riding will be declared the winner.
Let the creativity roll!
