Description:

The-Lorax-Ride-April-24

Urban Expeditions presents the Lorax Ride on Saturday, April 24th at 10:00 am.

Join C.I.C.L.E. for a moderately-paced bike tour of Pasadena's greener side. Meet at 10am in Memorial Park for bike decorating, and wear your favorite Dr. Seuss costume if you like!

Stops include:

• the Arroyo Seco,


• Brookside Park,


• the Armory's "Urban Transplanter",


• Caltech, and


• Fresh&Easy on south Lake.

Bike decorating begins at 10:00 am.  The ride leaves promptly at 11am and will return to Memorial Park so cyclists can also participate in the Greening the Earth Day Fair. C.I.C.L.E.'s Urban Expeditions program is made possible with support from REI.

Price: Free

What to Bring: Your bicycle, in good running order. (Please have bike(s) inspected and tuned at least once a year at a bike shop.) All participants under 18 must wear a helmet and be escorted by a parent or guardian. Children under age 8 should be on a tag-a-long, bike trailer, tandem, or other safe child-carrying device to participate in the ride.

Background Cyclists Inciting Change thru Live Exchange (C.I.C.L.E.) is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization that works with individuals and communities to promote the bicycle as a viable, healthy, and sustainable transportation choice. C.I.C.L.E. projects include Bike Week Pasadena, lifestyle focused and skill-building safety workshops, and Urban Expeditions, a monthly community-focused bicycle ride aimed at getting more people out of their cars and onto bikes.
