Bike Valet at the Arts Festival!

Walk It! Bike It! Lewisburg instead suggests you ride your bike to see and buy art in downtown Lewisburg.  Please consider taking advantage of the free bike valet service we will once again be offering at the Lewisburg Arts Festival street fair on Saturday, April 27 from 10am-5pm.  We are working with Earl's Bicycle Store and Mifflinburg Bank and Trust to bring this opportunity to the community.  Earl's will provide the bike racks and a canopy and the downtown Lewisburg branch of Mifflinburg Bank and Trust will provide the location in their parking lot at the corner of 5th and Market.  The Walk It! Bike It! info table will be there too.  So even if you don't need to take advantage of the parking, maybe stop by.  We'll have WIBI Raffle tickets for sale, some WIBI tshirts and swag, and info about upcoming events, like River Road Holiday.  And we'll be offering another go at the Hidden Lewisburg Bike Tour, this time leaving from the Bike Valet tent at 2pm that Saturday.  (Helmets are required.)

As anyone who's attended in the past knows, downtown sees a huge influx of people the day of the festival.  There is great remote parking set up and shuttles to make it workable, but it may seem ridiculous for locals to drive up to the shuttle location in order to get back to town.  (It's also ridiculous to try to park downtown -- just say no!)  If it's direct enough for you, skip both the traffic and the drive by walking or biking into town instead.  If you aren't used to it, please review your route in advance.  Choose your Rt 15 crossing with care.  And be sure to practice defensive walking or biking.  Consider that the adaptive signal installation along Rt 15 has changed/obliterated the patterns of the lights and stay alert.

Even people who don't live particularly close can take advantage of the opportunity.  Feel free to drive with your bike to a suitable remote parking spot like one of the official Buffalo Valley Rail Trail trailheads (Mifflinburg, Vicksburg, or East Buffalo Township) and then ride in from there.  In all cases, be safe, observe the rules of the road, and be sure both you and your bike are up to the challenge.

Once you're in town, you can enjoy the street fair unencumbered.  Feel free to leave your bike with us for safe keeping.  And should you make any purchases that would be dangerous, inadvisable, or simply impossible to transport home by bike, you can drop them off at Brushstrokes for safe-keeping and pick them up later in the week at your convenience.
