At Cactus, we like bikes. We also like parties. Which is why we are thrilled to invite every bike lover in Denver to the 3rd Annual Cactus Bike From Work Bash on Wednesday, June 22, 2011 in celebration of Bike to Work Day. Since a big part of the bash is about supporting Denver's bike culture, all proceeds from the event will go to BikeDenver, Denver's bicycle advocacy organization.

Bike From Work Bash will once again be an evening of two-wheeled delight in the Cactus parking lot – a perfect stop for commuters, located next to Confluence Park, the Platte River and Cherry Creek trails, and just minutes from Union Station

The Cactus Bike from Work Bash is a unique community event with a simple philosophy: have fun, promote a healthy lifestyle, support the environment, and build relationships within the community. While the event is free, partygoers are encouraged to show a little love by donating a few bucks to Bike Denver. You can also show your support for Bike Denver by purchasing door prize tickets for some incredible swag, including shades from Smith Optics, VIP tickets to the Denver finish of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge and even a rocking Cruiser Bike from Live Urban Real Estate.
