Sorry kids, summer is almost over. But you know what's back? Your local Bike Bus, that's what! Let's celebrate the start of the school year, and Bike Buses, with a ride to get some ice cream! Ride is open to all, whether your school has a bike bus or not, and whether you take part or not. We're here to celebrate kids, bikes, and a healthier, safer, sustainable, and way more FUN model for urban transport. We can also cover the cost of dessert if you need. This is a nice kid-paced ride down and back up the gentle slopes of Southeast Portland, so should be doable for kids of all ages. We'll be traveling along Lincoln, and then mostly Clinton, since it's relatively flat. We'll stop at meet-up points along the way, just like a Bike Bus. A map with times will be available the day before the ride (Sunday morning) so you can join en route. There will be a chance to win prizes at our 'bus stops' along the way! Please share with your school friends, sports teammates, anyone in the area who is interested in biking more for transportation! Bring your bubble machines and speakers. NOTE: The ride there/west is extremely easy (slight downhill), but the ride back/east involves a significant uphill around 52nd. It's no problem if you or your kid can't make it- we'll walk bikes as needed, or parents with cargo bikes can gives kids a lift up. We won't let the hills stop us! Schedule (times are approximate, we may arrive late but will never leave early): 6:15: Depart Western Seminary 6:19: Arrive Lincoln/58th 6:24: Depart 6:35: Arrive Clinton/41st 6:40: Depart 6:55: Arrive Ladd's Circle 7:00: Depart 7:10: Arrive 50 Licks
