Bike Camp is a two day bike fesival that celebrates the noncompetitive side of cycling. Grab your friens, pack your bags, and head to Bike Camp. We'll be setting up our tents beneath Lookout Mountain in one of the most beautiful areas in the Southeast, Reflection Riding.
Once you're unpacked, Saturday will be filled to the brim with activites. Bring your parts bin for the Parts Swap, your best bike for the Bike Show, your curiosity for the workshops, and end the day with a presentation from the ultra-endurance cyclist, Lael Wilcox. After coffee on Sunday we'll be hosting a variety of multi-surface rides showing off some of the best kept secrets in the region!
All proceeds from Bike Camp go to Two Bikes Chattanooga. Two Bikes takes donated bikes and transforms them into practical transportation for underserved community members in the greater Chattanooga area. Learn more about Two Bikes at www.twobikeschattanooga.com

Each of our curated group rides is designed to show off some of the most beautiful areas of the Southeast. We’ll have the perfect ride for you whether you’re just getting into riding bikes or an experienced cyclist.
Do you have a bin full of arguably-rare vintage bike components? Japanese handlebars? Purple anodized Topline Cranksets? The Parts Swap is for you!
Purchase a table (or share one with your friend) and buy-sell-trade your little heart out.
In my experience, I inevitably buy more than I sell which is exactly the opposite of what I intended to do. What I can guarantee is that you’ll have a great time chatting about esoteric bike stuff with new and old friends.
The Blue Ribbon Bike Show is the new version of the regionally famous Met Gala Alt Bike Show. This year we’ve got three trophies: Modern (post-Y2K), Classic (Pre-Y2K), and Alt-Bike.
Do you have the perfectly beau-saged Rivendell? A perfect resto-mod GT? One of those Stridsland 26”+ jammers with the Danish-artisanal-hand-drilled rear dynamo light? Boy do we have an opportunity for you.
We’re excited to announce that we’ll be partnering with The Radavist to feature the winners of Blue Ribbon Bike Show on their site. Lisan al Gaib!
We recognize that everyone can’t just drop $120 to go to a bike festival.

Applying is easy. Send a DM to @twobikeschattanooga in text or video format that explains why you are a good candidate for the Bike Camp Scholarship. Our event committee will make decisions on applications on a rolling-basis, so apply early!
