FREE BIKE is a new kind of bike festival for Seattle, one that puts the creativity and leadership in the hands of people like you.

Yes, you.

Our goal is to pack early July with so much bike fun you won’t possibly be able to do it all, and we need your help.

FREE BIKE is a people-powered, DIY bicycle festival running July 1 – 10 where everyone is invited to host their own bike rides and events. It’s your idea, and you make it happen. Just submit your idea to the FREE BIKE calendar and we will help spread the word. It’s free and easy.

We are also hosting our first ever optional FREE BIKE Planning Party 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Pike Brewing. If you

• want to help with the festival
• get ideas from the group about how to refine an event or ride idea
• learn some tips for leading group rides
• learn how to promote your FREE BIKE event or
• just want to hang out and talk about bike fun

then join us!

Seattle Bike Blog is partnering with Brock Howell of Bike Happy Cascadia and Jason Goodman of Swift Industries to create the first ever FREE BIKE festival July 1 – 10 and FREE BIKE street party July 3 in Ballard.

As a reminder, FREE BIKE events must be free to participate, and you are responsible for your own events. For more, see our announcement post or check out the FREE BIKE website.
