Your Guide to Getting Your Green on!

  • Posted Mar 9, 2023

Saint Patrick's Day is one of cyclist's favorite holidays to celebrate... but... it wasn't always this way...

St. Patty's Day celebrations were religious holidays and bars event remain closed - that is until about 40 years ago when the Americans turned the day into the celebration in which we know it today - parades, corned beef and cabbage, everything green.

BIKEIOWA has several Irish Pubs who support us and there are several rides, parades and celebrations happening over the next TWO weeks.

St. Patrick's Day is always on March 17th and is known as the feast day of the patron saint of Ireland.
