Houston's on a roll and so is BCO.

We want you to join us on Saturday, June 14th where we'll be holding a special summer Farmers Market Ride.

You might just ride away with a brand new cruiser*, compliments of Bayou City Outdoors and Urban Bicycle Gallery. Biking in Houston is getting better and better, and we want everyone to have the chance to enjoy the ride of their life this summer.

#EnjoyTheRideBCO

Here's everything you need to know to join us on the ride and get entered in the drawing!

We will be meeting at Market Square at 8 AM Saturday morning and rolling out at about 8:30. From there, we'll head over to Urban Harvest Market on Eastside. Bring a backpack or basket to carry all the amazing goodies from tons of different vendors. You’ll find fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade bread and pasta, local goat cheese and flowers. It's a top Houston destination, and we'll hangout while everyone has coffee, a snack or two, explores the shops, and enjoys the live entertainment!

We will take a different route back downtown to Market Square, maybe even checking out the new Buffalo Bayou trail. Once back at Market Square we'll have the cruiser drawing.

Or, you can park downtown near Market Square - street parking is metered and there's always room in the Market Street garage.
