The happiest rush hour of the year is just two days away! Bike Everywhere Day 2018 (formerly known as “Bike to Work Day”) is Friday, and the city will be flush with snacks and swag and group rides and smiling faces.
There is usually an extra surge of people in the city’s bike routes, and there is no better day for someone to give biking to work (or school or the park or wherever) to give it a try. Biking gets safer and more comfortable as more people do it.
One great way to participate: Join a group ride to City Hall. Rides are starting all over the city. Details from the event listing:
- Beacon Hill, Beacon Hill Light Rail Station, Beacon Ave S and Lander St (meets at 7:30 am; departs 7:45 am)
- Columbia City, Bikeworks, 3709 S Ferdinand St (meets at 7:00 am, departs 7:15 am)
- Fremont, Florentia & 4th Ave. N. (meets at 7:15 am, departs 7:30 am)
- Ravenna, Third Place Books, 6504 20th Ave NE, (meets at 7:15 am; departs 7:30 am)
- West Seattle, Beneath the West Seattle Bridge (meets at 7:15 am, departs 7:30 am)
Or you can make your own way to the 8 a.m. rally outside City Hall, which will include a “surprise action.” (more…)
