I’ll admit it: I don’t believe in Peter Pan, Frankenstein, or Superman. All I wanna do is bicycle! Bike Month ATX promises two-wheeler fun for the whole month of May. Break out the 10-speed, the recumbent, the cruiser, and join your fellow cyclists in the last nice weather days in Austin. There’s bike polo on May 5, or an all-level ride around Walnut Creek on the 19th. Help with meal delivery on the 22nd or pedal under a full moon on the 24th. Find pretty much every kind of bike fun under the sun (and moon!) at bikemonthatx.com, because those bicycle races? They’re coming your way. – James Scott

Does it surprise you to learn that Mean Girls came out 20 whole years ago? Maybe that’s because the Tina Fey-penned film is so iconic it feels timeless, or maybe it’s that it was turned into a Broadway musical in 2018 that jumped onto the big screen just this year. Regardless, we’re guessing all these iterations and maybe even the 2011 made-for-TV sequel could be on the table for a free night of quiz questions presented by the titans of trivia from Get It Games. Costumes are encouraged, and may we remind you it’s spring fling season? – Kat McNevins

Those twisted cineastes of the Skeleton Factory podcast will torture your brain with questions, questions, questions about the darkest, sickest, most depraved corners of cinema. Assemble your team of info freakos who can drop knowledge about Divine and Dario Argento to win prizes, prizes, prizes. And even if you don’t win, you can still grab dinner from Li’l Nonna’s or That Burger before satiating your outdoor gluten-free sweet tooth on the patio with a treat from Zucchini Kill. – Richard Whittaker

No clue what to get the woman who, you know, gave you life? Don’t sweat, APL’s got you covered. Let Mom wander the stacks while you bust out a fancy card, flower pen, or tote bag that says “Hey Mom, thanks for all you do.” All craft supplies provided. It’s a no-brainer for the gift-challenged soul. There may or may not be narwhal stickers. (There totally are, come grab them before they’re gone.) – Cat McCarrey

Mamma mia: Did you know the game we call bingo originated in Italy? Descended from the Italian lotto game, bingo has been delighting young and old – okay, mostly old – since the 1500s. Enjoy boffo bingo from your friends at Bat City Bingo, who bring free “beano” to patios all over town, every Tuesday at North Loop bar & kitchen Double Trouble. Advisable drink pairings with your bingo card: for the sober, a hot choc, and for the spirited, an Aperol Spritz. Foodwise, I mean, a taco goes with everything – this writer suggests the vegan picadillo. – James Scott
