An Urban Adventure exploring and benefiting the city of Charlotte.

By: Natural Awakenings

Discover how easy it is to get around Charlotte without driving at Sustain Charlotte’s fourth annual Biketoberfest presented by The Charlotte Knights from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on October 14. This unique event features a scenic loop route starting at Lenny Boy Brewing Co. with stops at fun destinations and will culminate with an after-party at Triple C Brewing Co.

A partnership with the Charlotte Department of Transportation will facilitate a pilot-protected bike lane on Sixth Street. There’ll also be a shorter, more family-friendly route, and bikers can collect stamps at stops that’ll be entered in raffles for prizes.

Sustain Charlotte started this event in 2015 as a fun way to promote biking for transportation to Charlotte-Mecklenburg residents. Last year, nearly 600 people attended assisted by100 volunteers. Bicycling for transportation promotes a healthier lifestyle and also reduces transportation costs, air pollution and carbon emissions.
