While motorcycles are everywhere here,bikes are also seen a lot. They could have a criterium race,a road race,and a mountain bike race in three days.Plus bring in some BMX freestlylists to show off their skills. And food,don't forget,lots of food and accesserioes to sell!
Good idea or not?
The nearest big city has the Around the Bay in a Day ... it attracts somewhere around 16,000 riders:

An adjoining city hosted the World Cycling Championships last year ... we went to the men's Time Trial.
Are those the kinds of things you're thinking of?
