Los Angeles

Sun; ride's 4-8pm, starts at Orange 20 Bikes: 4351 Melrose; Silverlake; the party's 8-Mid at a location TBA

For just $5 with an RSVP, hit the secret location'd open-bar/live band afterparty to this insane, free-to-enter bikeathon, which'll find pedalers following a flatbed truck around the Eastside while the hippie-hoppy The Headhunters play, and raffles for $300 in Grn Apple Tree gear. Proceeds go to a childhood cancer charity and other entertainment includes a DJ set from Spaceland punk-rock favorites The Mae Shi -- to which the answer is almost always yes, especially since there's an open bar.
