SPOKE SERIES

The Bike Utah Spoke Series connects you to others who have a passion for cycling and making Utah a better place to ride. The Spoke Series provides opportunities to network, learn about, and celebrate with innovators, entrepreneurs, advocates, and  fellow riders while strengthening Utah’s cycling community.

Each Spoke Series event will feature a short Q&A or presentation to provide information and inspiration that empowers attendees to make a positive impact on cycling locally and statewide. We encourage you to ride to the events, carpool, or utilize public transportation.
