Down To Earth

Summer Parkways is tonight!

I can't think of a better way to celebrate the solstice than to head to Summer Parkways tonight. This is the second and final Summer Parkways event for 2012 and the party goes from 6-9 PM at the Comstock/Manito Neighborhood. You can view a map of the route HERE

The event is becoming an annual favorite. The idea is inspired by a day in Bogota, Colombia called Ciclovia (meaning “bike path” in Spanish) and similar events in other parts of the world. The focus is on recreation, fitness, and community.  Four miles of roadway to automobiles and open up the streets to bikes, pedestrians, skaters, and other human-powered transportation. 

Folks of all ages and abilities may enter and exit the course at any point and enjoy these activities. Participants are also encouraged to bring their own games and hobbies along (e.g. picnics, music, chalk art, hopscotch, bubbles, juggling, jump rope, etc).

It's time to hit the steets - see you there!
