Urban ArtRide

Join us on June 20th for Urban ArtRide, a very special guided bike tour of Seattle's vibrant street art scene including our city's best murals and installations, featuring the artists themselves giving a short talk on their piece! Curated by Urban Artworks and ride safety provided by Bombus Bikes.

Meet-up:
8:30am at 1902 S. Main St. Cold brew provided by Porchlight Coffee.
ride will depart promptly at 9am

Route will incorporate 8-12 stops with appearances/talks by leading street artists: Game Not Fame, Weirdo and Kyler Martz (to share a few)

End game:
~2pm at the Kangaroo & Kiwi Pub in Ballard: party hosted by New Belgium Brewing Co. (21+)

50 tickets. Tell your friends. Grease your chains.

Additional info/helpful to understand level of cycling: the route will include 8-12 stops between the start and end point, and the ride will be a slower/more leisurely pace, keeping the group all together for the duration of the ride. While the route will be the flattest possible, this is Seattle and we have hills here J so anticipate some hustle to get up a couple shorter hills. This event isn’t recommend for younger children (though please make your own call here), and the end-point/party is 21 yrs +. We look forward to rolling with you!

SUGGESTED TO BRING/PREP:

- helmet: wear your helmet, it's required

- bike lock: will be helpful for midway stop and end point party
