Here’s a look at some of the highlights from the Seattle Bike Blog Events Calendar. Got a bikey event or fun group bike ride idea? Anyone can post to the calendar. Just go to the calendar page and follow the instructions at the top.
The city will begin planning work for two neighborhood greenway routes in Rainier Valley this year, with hopes of building them in 2015. But before that happens, residents will get a taste of what’s to come starting Sunday.
Rainier Valley Greenways will install a “Pop-Up Greenway” along one long block of S Ferdinand Street between 35th and 37th Avenues, right next to Bike Works. The idea it to create temporary and faux versions of the traffic calming and way-finding elements that go into a neighborhood greenway. This way, residents may have some familiarity with the concepts before planning discussions start.
A celebration of the temporary greenway will be Sunday from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.

A Pop-Up Greenway is a temporary installation of features including faux painted speed humps, way-finding signs, sharrows and intersection improvement suggestions that demonstrate what a greenway could look like. (more…)
