Ride for Freemont, v 2.0

SeattleLikesbikes.org is organizing another Ride for Freemont (2.0) tomorrow evening starting at 4:30 in Gasworks park. Ride starts at 5 and lasts an hour, see the link for a map.

The goal of the follow-up ride is protest the extended closure of the Burke-Gilman trail in Freemont and the broken-promise sharrows on Stone Way. Hopefully the ride will help influence an upcoming city council meeting on these topics. Attire is ‘every day wear to work clothes’. There’s a planned route, established message, and clear guidance on cycling behaviour on the events link.

The issue’s been covered pretty heavily here and elsewhere and it seems like the issue is approaching a head. Ignore the rain, come out and help push bike lanes on Stone Way through and most importantly, make sure the city council gets it – making Seattle more bike friendly matters. (Actually, precip is supposed to be down to 40% chance by tomorrow evening.)

See you there!
