The Urban Assault Ride™ is a truly unique cycling event…and quickly becoming one of the biggest in country! Here’s how it works: You and your teammate will set out on a city-wide quest for ‘checkpoints’ on your favorite two-wheeled steeds.  At each checkpoint, you’ll drop your bikes and complete a funky/adventurous obstacle course, then remount your bikes and hit the streets for more.

The goal is to complete all the checkpoints in the shortest amount of time. You choose your own route and checkpoint order. This means that the most clever are often the victors. Of course, it may also help if you can pull a mean big-wheel powerslide and fly across an inflatable slip-n-slide ;)

After your pedal-powered adventure, your team will cross the finish line and enter a massive celebration of bikes and beer. The after party is just as much fun as the ride itself, thanks to the craziest raffle prize contest you’ll ever experience.

Come out to support BicycleWORKS and enjoy a fun time on your bike.

Also associated with the event, the Urban Assault Team is giving away 8 of the coveted New Belgium cruiser bikes. A $2 donation to Saint Louis BicycleWORKS through the following website link gets you one raffle ticket. Buy as many as you like to improve your chances to win.

Employees dropped off more than 200 bicycles for St. Louis Bicycle Works, that will use the donations to help at-risk children become more responsible, increase physical activity, and learn the benefits of recycling.

“A lot of our people love to ride bikes, and we appreciate what you are doing for St. Louis,” Muilenburg told BicycleWORKS volunteers who staffed the Boeing drive. “We’re glad we could partner with you.”

A huge thanks goes out o everyone that could help.

These donations provide the raw materials needed to run our programs, and support the shop. That means 400 less bikes filling up our landfills. In addition, Mercy Health Plan and employees also raised about $500 in cash donations and several helmets for our kids.

Thank you everyone for your generosity.
