Ride Over to Redmond's Bike Bash May 17

Redmond cyclists of all ages are invited to the R-TRIP’s Bike-to-Work Day after party on Friday, May 17 from 4-7 p.m. along the Sammamish River Trail behind City Hall.

According to a post on the R-TRIP blog: 

The Bike Bash is the perfect way to celebrate Bike to Work Month, and kick off the cycling season, with your Bike Team, your neighbors, and other bike enthusiasts. Spandex not required!

The party includes these goodies - for free:

• Pizza from Zeek’s Pizza
• Root Beer from The Root Beer Store
• Dessert from Midori’s Bakery
• Live Music
• Chair Massages
• Photo booth pictures
• Give-a-Ways and Prizes
• Bike Maps & Resources
• Local Bike Shops and organizations like Redmond Bike Works & Element Cycles

Redmond’s Bar & Grill will have a no host beer garden for cyclists and Bike Teams who are over 21. They’ll be featuring a selection of Redmond beers from Mac & Jack’s and Black Raven Brewery. And, there will be music:

• 4-5:15    No Rules              www.norulesrocks.com
• 5:45-7    5 Johnsons          www.thefivejohnsons.com

Bicycle Helmets are also going to be for sale for $10 from the Redmond Police Department. The rider must be present to have the helment fitted properly, so bring the whole family and get them fitted for a safe cycling season.  The Redmond Police Explorers will also be on hand to kick off their bike registration program.  This program will help police locate your bike if it ever gets lost or stolen.

If you weren’t able to join us at last year’s Bike Bash, check out the YouTube video of the event.

R-TRIP is the Redmond Trip Resource & Incentive Program, a program run by the City of Redmond working for the use of environmentally friendly and more efficient means of getting to and from work. By offering monthly promotions, incentives, subsidies, and a ridematching community, R-TRIP seeks to get you out of your car–Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV)–and into an alternative mode of travel: busing, biking, walking, vanpooling, or carpooling.
