Get On Your Bike: Belltown-Fremont Loop
Event has already happened.
Welcome to Get on Your Bike, Seattle/Belltown edition! Whether you are new, returning, or just open to learning, this is the time to get on your bike! Join us on short evening rides around Seattle while the weather is still relatively dry and before days get too short. We will be riding on multi-use trails most of the way while practicing group riding skills and some unavoidable obstacles of Seattle streets (hills, construction sites, etc.).
What to bring: Your bike in good working condition and helmet, both front and rear lights. If your bike hasn't seen a light for quite sometime, please make sure to take it in for a full check-up at your local bike shop or at Velo Bike Shop prior to the ride. If you are an infrequent rider, please do an ABC check. Please bring water and snack. Also, tools and tubes to fix a flat. If someone gets a flat, we will have an inpromptu fix-a-flat class!
What to expect: Please come at the ride start at 5:45pm for signing the ride waiver and getting yourself ready. We will also have a route and safety briefing. Please arrive earlier if you plan to fill your water bottle, use the restrooms, and borrow Velo's floor pump. The route should last about 1 hour, but if a group is bigger or we run into a cool photo op, it might take longer to get back.
Weather: If the weather looks dire, the ride will be cancelled 2 hours before the ride. Ride cancellation will be posted in the comments section below at least 2 hours before the ride. If weather is bad at the ride start, ride leader will make a cancellation decision then.
Parking: Street parking is available with fee or just bike to the start
No bikes?: You don't know if bicycling is your thing yet or have an out-of-town guest without a bike? No problem. Velo offers a bike rental. It is a great way to check out Seattle!
