A few days ago, while I was eating a gigantic hamburger at Nationwide Freezer Meats, I noticed a flier advertising for the second annual Sacramento Bike Games. This upcoming Saturday, March 28, was given as a date, but no location was revealed.

My interest was piqued, so I checked the MySpace address listed on the flier, only to find the games’ location listed as "TBA." Viewers of the page were encouraged to check back regularly for information on where the games are to be held.

However, other pertinent information was revealed. The games focus on fixed-gear bikes, with events like Bike Polo, Footdown (essentially chicken played on bikes), Jousting, and several other bike maneuvers. Spectators can expect to see an impressive array of gravity- and traffic-law-defying tricks, bike frames both flashy and minimalist, and some of Sacramento's most bike-knowledgeable citizens.

The entry fee is six dollars, with food and drink available for contestants and spectators.

Fixed gear aficionados will enjoy watching their favorite kind of bike do the things only it can do, and more casual spectators might be interested in the novelty of bike polo or bike jousting, in addition to the barbecue and brew provided.

Any readers with knowledge of the location are encouraged to post it and enlighten the rest of us. My inquiries will continue, and an update will be posted when all the facts are in.
