BIKE WEEK TURNS INTO "BIKE 10 By: Daniel Albert M ay traditionally is the month when "Bike Week" is held, an annual international event that originated in Europe. This "fun filled" event for all things two- wheeled, typically is a seven -day event that advocates the importance of bicycling as a means of transportation. The goal of the event is to give to citizens of a city the opportunity to help the environment and exercise in a fun and social way. Participants include professional cyclists, celebrities and individuals who choose cycling as a chief means of transportation for the week. However, a new era of Bike excitement is upon us. This month, Live Magazines and the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles have hijacked the festival of Bike Week, extended it a few extra weeks and turned it into ""Bike Month. "This May "Bike Month" will feature several great promotions the Bicycle Casino is running and help you to enjoy the best kind of "Bike" we know--The Bike Casino! Since May 1st falls on a Saturday this year, you can start out "Bike Month" with one of The Bicycle Casino's weekly tournaments. These weekly tournaments include Nooner's, where a player can buy in for just $30 plus a $10 fee any day of the week at 12PM. These tournaments offer a shot at $3,000 guaranteed, and feature the game No Limit Hold 'Em Poker. You could also start the celebration a bit later with a Nooner Night Frenzy tournament starting at 7PM. In these nightly tournaments a player can buy in for $50 plus a fee of $10 and get a shot at a guaranteed $4,000. If this is still too early for all you night owls out there, then head over to the Bike for one of their Midnight Madness tournaments. These tournaments run seven days a week starting at 12 AM midnight (of course) and offer players the chance to win for a buy-in of just $40 plus a $10 fee. If these weekly tournaments aren't enough for you, then consider this: "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend. " The lady I'm referring to, of course, is the Queen of Diamonds as The Bicycle Casino hosts their Queen of Diamonds Tournament. This one-day tournament is just one part of the "Queen of" series at the Bike and will take place on May 16th. This highly anticipated tournament is set to get started at 2PM on the 16th and will play host to some of the greatest competitions LA has to offer. For a buy-in of just $50 plus a $10 fee, players will compete in a No Limit Hold 'Em tournament-- where anything can happen. The Queen of Diamonds is just the beginning when it comes to tournament play at the Bike.
