Beacon Hill is throwing a huge bash to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Jefferson Park Saturday. And you know what? The park just happens to be in the center of the planned neighborhood greenway, so of course there’s going to be a bunch of bike stuff!

There will be a group ride starting at 2:30 1:30 as well as bike polo and the family bike expo, where you have the chance to try out different styles of family bikes to see what fits your needs and style best.

Also, if you can bring a mobile bike stereo, email Ryan.
