Join Mayor Ted Winterer, Santa Monica Spoke, and Senior Transportation Planner Carlos Morales for a 3+ mile bike ride that will explore the Safe Streets for 17th Street and Michigan Avenue project, which will enhance 17th Street by constructing a grade separated protected bikeway that will extend a total of 1.1 miles from Wilshire Boulevard to Pico Boulevard. The project will include new lighting, increase safety, and feature two fully protected intersections (more info here: http://www.protectedintersection.com/)

The ride will begin at Colorado Center Park (corner of Broadway and 26th Street) and end at The Curious Palate (395 Santa Monica Place) for our monthly Bike Local – Buy Local Santa Monica HandleBar Happy Hour. Bike Valet parking will be available at the Santa Monica Bike Center until 8 pm.

Bring your own bike, helmet, lock & water bottle. Children are welcome but should be capable of street riding or in an appropriate child seat or trailer. There is no cost to participate.

About the Mayor’s Ride:
Biking is better with friends! That’s why the Mayor started free monthly community rides (and walks) in January 2017. If you know how to ride a bike, these rides are for you! Come meet the Mayor, City staff, and your neighbors while enjoying the Santa Monica sunshine!
