Bees to Host 'Bike to the Bees' July 28

On Wednesday, July 28, the Salt Lake Bees will host a 'Bike to the Bees' event at Spring Mobile Ballpark in association with Bees Green Week, which runs July 27-30.

The event encourages local residents to ride their bikes to the Bees game on July 28 and park in a free, secure bike valet parking area provided by the Bees. The secure bike valet will be located in the fenced-in parking lot directly west of the ballpark on West Temple.

Participants will receive a buy-one, get-one free Bees ticket voucher, while the first person who arrives at the game and has his/her bike valet parked, will have the opportunity to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Select participants will also be included in an in-game tricycle race. Game time on July 28 is 7:05 p.m. and gates open at 6:05 p.m.

In addition to biking to the ballpark, individuals who donate a bicycle to the Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective, located at 2312 South West Temple, at any point leading up to the July 28 game will receive a free ticket voucher for that game. The Bicycle Collective provides refurbished bicycles and educational programs to the community, focusing on children and lower income households.

Participating partners with Bike to the Bees include Cycling Utah and the SLC Bicycle Collective.
