4th Annual LA BikeFest - LA’s Pedal-Powered Happy Hour Fundraising Celebration
BikeLA hosts its 4th Annual LA BikeFest Fundraiser Happy Hour and Celebration of bike-minded people from daily commuters to weekend warriors, and everyone in between. A Pedal-Powered Party where attendees are encouraged to ride to and from LA BikeFest via the healthiest, happiest, most sustainable, and equitable transportation available – the BICYCLE. Taking place on Saturday, November 15 from 12 p.m.–3 p.m. at Highland Park Brewery, a hop, skip and roll from the Chinatown Metro station, the event is open to all ages, but you must be 21+ to be served beer. The $25pp ticket (purchased in advance; $35 at the door if capacity allows) includes free bike valet, one beer or non-alcoholic drink, a commemorative sky blue BikeLA bandana, and our biggest yet bike-themed silent auction (https://givebutter.com/c/9oEGVr/auction).
Join fellow BikeLA supporters, local chapter members, and Angelenos with the shared desire to transform Los Angeles into a better place to live and bicycle. Come together for a relaxed afternoon of good vibes, great company, and tasty brews. In addition, BikeLA has announced this year’s three 2025 Spoke Award Honorees who will be honored at this year’s BikeFest:
Hugo Soto-Martinez, Los Angeles City Council for the 13th District, who opened his first ever protected bike lanes in Hollywood, as part of his landmark “Access to Hollywood” project; Metro staff for the Rail to Rail Path; and ActiveSGV, founded in 2010 by San Gabriel Valley residents and public health advocates, addresses the lack of safe, green, complete streets in east Los Angeles County.
Plus, special partner acknowledgements to Streets are for Everyone (known as SAFE) started by cyclist Damian Kevitt, celebrating their 10th Anniversary with an aim to improve the quality of life for pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers alike by reducing traffic fatalities to zero; and Highland Park Brewery for graciously hosting BikeFest for the past three consecutive years.
“BikeFest is more than a bike celebration — it’s a statement about the kind of Los Angeles we’re building together,” explains Eli Akira Kaufman, BikeLA executive director. “Every time someone chooses to ride, they’re choosing cleaner air, safer streets, and stronger connections among our communities. BikeLA exists to make that choice easier for everyone, in every neighborhood, every day.”
This year’s BikeFest Gold Helmet Sponsor is Waymo; the Silver Helmet Sponsors include Tranzito-Vector; Bicycle Transit Systems; and Lyft; Bronze Helmet Sponsors are Laemmle Charitable Foundation; Lime; and Serve Robotics.
Silent auction donors for bike-themed accessories include Spurcycle; Patagonia; Yakima; Tern; Road Runner bags; ABUS; Kryptonite and more.
