Bikeable Burlington Now - 1st Bike Train Aug. 22

Past event
Aug 22, 2014, 8 to 8:30 AM

This is the first of (hopefully) many rides organized by the new group Bikeable Burlington Now. The ride will depart from the Chubby Muffin at 8am and end at Maglianero, riding via North Winooski, South Winooski, Main Street, and Battery St. to highlight the challenges faced biking in Burlington's downtown core.

Show up early for food or if you need time to get creative with signage. We'll have art supplies on hand for anyone who wants to create their own message, in addition to large "Bikeable Burlington Now" signs to but on your bike or body.

The idea is to space people on bikes every 30-60 seconds, so we can ride safely with traffic and create a strong visual presence without a "critical mass" style blockage. The goal is to be visible during rush hour and ride safely with traffic, but convey strength in numbers with a positive message that reaches a large number of people.

This is our first public event, so if you're unable to make this one, stay tuned for more rides on North Ave, Pine Street, and much more.
