Local Businesses Pedaling Along
Take The Pedal Cafe, for example. They’re offering a “Bike Brew Bundle” — a free coffee with any breakfast purchase for those who show up with a helmet. Now that’s what I call a perk! This type of local initiative not only encourages more people to attend the festival but also supports our community’s businesses.
Meanwhile, Trailside Outfitters is jumping in with a 15% discount on cycling gear for anyone with a Bike Fest ticket. It’s a great way to encourage festival-goers to gear up while exploring the expansive trails of Northwest Arkansas.
Even the Local Artisan Market is getting in on the action. They’ve set up a “Bike Fest Special” section with unique, festival-themed crafts. It’s a chance for local artisans to showcase their work to a wider audience and for attendees to take home a piece of Bentonville craftsmanship.
For those looking to refuel, downtown restaurants are curating special menus to celebrate the event. You can find everything from bike-themed burgers to pedal-powered pizzas. It’s a tasty way to keep the energy high for all the festival-goers.

It’s not just about the cycling; it’s about celebrating what makes Northwest Arkansas special. These local businesses are seizing the moment to engage with the community, create lasting impressions, and generate a buzz that lasts long after the festival is over.
