Bikes & Buckets

Join us on September 20 for a one-of-a-kind pregame experience as we roll together to cheer on the Indiana Fever.

Start your game day at Guggman Haus Brewing Co. (1701 Gent Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46202) with a laid-back pre-ride hang, then hop on your bike for a guided ride leading straight to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It’s a fun, sustainable way to get to the game and be part of something bigger with fellow fans who care about the ride just as much as the destination.

Already have tickets or just want to ride? RSVP so we can line up ride leaders, bikeshare bikes, and keep things rolling smoothly.
