Inaugural SouthSide Bike Show Planned

SouthSide merchants and the Downtown Bethlehem Association are hoping that no less than 300 motorcycle enthusiasts descend on Third and Fourth streets on August 18 for the first-ever SouthSide Bethlehem Bike Show.

The show will include a four-category bike show with prizes for the winners. The categories are best classic, best custom, best paint and best in show. Best in show will be determined by a popular vote. The other three categories will be determined by a judge’s panel.

Registration for the event is $20 with half of the proceeds going to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

The show, which will occupy Third and Fourth streets as well as the South Bethlehem Greenway, will run from 1 to 7 p.m. Among the other highlights:

• A chili pepper eating contest
• Live music by the James Supra Blues Band
• A “poker walk” at participating businesses
• Motorcycle accessory vendors and bike groups
• A local restaurants food court
• Discounts and promotions from area businesses
