Ride on over to "Bike Rides: The Exhibition," at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield. Sunday afternoon is when the Aldrich hosts Bike Fest, an outdoor celebration of everything having to do with bicycles.

The event will feature a meet-and-greet with exhibit curators and artists, bike tricks performed by BMX riders and acrobats, free Cannondale demos, tune-ups by the Bike Doctor, primp-my-bike contests, prizes, rides, helmet fittings, family activities, refreshments and more.

The event will kick off early in the day with the Le Tour d'Aldrich -- three organized bike rides for cyclists of all abilities. Riders will depart from East Ridge Middle School in Ridgefield and finish their ride at the museum.

As for the exhibit itself, it explores the growing relevance of bicycles in contemporary art and culture. There are about 30 pieces; some are artistic representations of bikes, while others are cutting-edge, fully functional bikes from the world's best designers.

Among the items on display will be two of Lance Armstrong's Trek bikes, used this past year at the Tour de France.

The exhibit also shares facts about bike use and encourages the use of human-powered vehicles.
