BeaconBIKES and Spokespeople are holding a family bicycle ride Saturday that will do a loop around Beacon Hill on family-friendly streets (which BeaconBIKES hopes to make even friendlier by turning them into neighborhood greenways).
From BeaconBIKES:
Join Beacon BIKES and Spokespeople for a family ride along various portions of the future Beacon Hill Greenway. The event will begin at The Station Coffee House at 2pm and finish at the Beacon Hill Library at 4pm. It will be a slow, safe ride with few hills that will feature destinations such as Jefferson Park, local businesses, and two community farms (Alley Cat Acres and the future site of the Beacon Food Forest). If you have any questions, please e-mail Dylan at [email protected].
And, of course, we already wrote about the Sound to Mountains Bike Festival leaving Magnuson Park Saturday.
Did we miss anything? Let us know in the comments.
