Lake Washington Boulevard in Seattle is closed to cars for 10 weekend days this spring and summer. Bicyclists can ride the scenic route between Mount Baker Beach and Seward Park — an 8-mile round trip — on selected Saturdays and Sundays beginning today.
“Bicycle Saturdays and Sundays” is not a place for hammer heads who are trying to set a personal best time trial. Think of getting the family out on their bikes; see and be seen; make new friends.
Lake Washington is closed to vehicles between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the following Saturdays — May 13 (today), June 10, July 8, August 12, and September 9; and Sundays — May 21, June 18, July 16, August 20, September 17.
The Cascade Bicycle Club Education Foundation is on hand at Seward Park from 1-4 p.m. on every date to fit and sell $10 bicycle helmets.
The Skiforall Foundation also has adaptive bicycles there occasionally for disabled persons or their families that are interested in a test drive.
The event is sponsored by Group Health and the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department.
