Bike Boulevard Boogie

[Easy Riders]

Hey Easy Riders, come do the Bike Boulevard Boogie with us on a
special Saturday edition ride!

We've asked Greg Raisman to lead us on a tour of North / NE Portland's
future bike boulevards. Greg works for PBOT so he knows the what's,
the where's and the how's and he's agreed to show us some of the
routes that are being discussed as potential bike boulevards. Along
the way Greg will share some his knowledge of how a simple street
becomes a bike boulevard, some of the hurdles that must be overcome
and how to get involved if you live in the neighborhood. If you don't
care about any of this stuff? Come along anyway, it's not like there
will be a test after and you'll get to spend the afternoon cruising
around on your bike.

The ride will be low traffic, mostly flat and slow paced so feel free
to bring the kids along.
