Bikes, Brews, and Good Times at the Baltimore Bicycle Festival!

What a fantastic weekend! We're still buzzing from the energy at the Baltimore Bicycle Festival hosted at the always-welcoming Peabody Heights Brewery and organized by our friends at ATW Builds. Even though the forecast was rainy, the vibes were immaculate, and it was the great setting to connect with the incredible cycling community here in Baltimore.

The best part of these events, as always, is the people. We had an amazing time chatting with everyone who stopped by the Velo Orange booth. We talked about recent builds, upcoming travels, the merits of a perfectly-dialed friction shifter, and everything in between. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and make a whole host of new friends. Thank you to everyone who came out and shared their stories and passion with us.

This weekend, the star of our booth was the one-of-a-kind, custom-cerakoted Neutrino Mini-Velo that is a collaboration between VO, ATWBuilds, and Weichel Coatings. It was a real head-turner, and we loved answering all your questions about its custom finish and build possibilities.

But this isn't just a show bike! In case you missed it, we are raffling off this custom Neutrino, and all proceeds are going to the incredible folks at Happy Helpers for the Homeless, a local organization dedicated to providing food, toiletries, and compassion to those in need. Right now we're at over $7500 going all to them! I'm hoping we can get an even $8000 before we close the raffle.

This is your final call! Time is running out to throw your hat in the ring for a chance to win this beautiful bike while supporting an essential community cause.

The absolute last day to purchase raffle tickets is this Wednesday, October 15th!

Don't miss your chance to own a unique Velo Orange build and make a real difference.

A huge thank you goes out to the festival organizers and Peabody Heights Brewery for putting on such a great event. We left feeling energized and so grateful to be part of this community.
