Held in more than 50 cities worldwide, it was the third year Seattle has staged a ride in support of sustainable transport and the power and individuality of the human body."

We never went to Beacon Hill and the ride started and ended at Gas Works Park, and went as far south as Seward Park.

No. The last thing I want to see on the mean streets of Seattle is a gaggle of puffy white blobs on bikes. Not only that, I’ll have to do some ‘splaining to my kids when they ask about those funny dangling things. We should keep our clothes ON 40.25%
