The festival is at Bybee Nims Blueberry Farms, and your $60 ride registration gets you in. If you don’t want to ride, you can still go to the fest. They even offer shuttles from Seattle to the farm. Check out the festival website to register or learn more.
Among the activities at the festival will be a “wake” for Carol Hawkins’ bicycle, which was destroyed when she was struck by a car in SoDo earlier this year. Visitors will be encouraged to write about their bike safety concerns in the guest book and write letters to municipalities about specific bike safety issues.
