Unicycles, bicycles, tricycles, quadricycles and whymcycles will be raced, decorated, paraded and celebrated at this year’s Cyclebration Festival in Davis. (If you’re unfamiliar with any of the aforementioned contraptions, you can test them out at the event.) The annual festival is a tribute to the use of human power for recreation and transportation. Spectator events include children’s trike races, stunt biking, a kid’s bike decorating contest, a fitness fair, unicycle tricks and live music by Mumbo Gumbo and Mick Martin and the Blues Rockers. The event lasts from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Saturday in downtown Davis. Call (530) 756-8763 or visit www.cyclebration.com for more information.
