We are not showing Goonies tonight, but are STILL biking for drinks, friends, and fun!

ATTENTION: Hey guys: We have to cancel the showing of Goonies until next time. We are STILL biking to the Tin Roof tonight and eating free popcorn and having awesome boozy frozen drinks and enjoying the company of our fellow bike enthusiasts. However, since we don't have the rights to the movie (YET), we can't show Goonies (YET). We were contacted about needing to obtain licensing fees, which makes sense, and is certainly feasible provided we do so in plenty of time beforehand and obtain sponsors and such. Apologies for the disappointment but please do meet up with us tonight anyway for some bike solidarity, and we'll figure out the entertainment between now and then. We are still meeting at SpaceCraft Studios in Avondale behind Papa Murphy's and departing there for a group ride at 6.30 sharp!

Next date: Monday, August 26th



The second-ever Bike-In Movie will be hosted at Tin Roof next Monday, Aug 26 at 7 p.m. Admission is free.

Last month’s Bike-In Movie debut was a huge success, with the empty parking lot of Tin Roof a strange but refreshing contrast to the bicycle-filled patio. This month, we’ll be showing only one movie since a double feature doesn’t allow bikers to return home during daylight hours.

Free popcorn will be given out and happy hour specials will apply to everyone who rides their bikes to the event.

A group ride will depart SpaceCraft Studios in Avondale behind Papa Murphy's at 6.30 pm. This is only an option and anyone can bike from anywhere they wish. Organizers will be there waiting for participants beginning at 6 p.m.

This option is also a great one for people who wish to participate but do not want to bike all the way from places like Mount Pleasant.  Last time, a group met at Hampton Park downtown and biked together to West Ashley, while others parked their cars at an Avondale group ride point then rode on to Tin Roof.

Cyclists are encouraged to ride safely and responsibly, using helmets and proper lights and obeying all traffic laws.   

This is a reoccurring event reserved for the last Monday of each month.
