Sunday Video: Best Side Cycling Covers Urbanist Group Ride with CityNerd

Doug Trumm - September 24, 2023

Last Saturday, The Urbanist and CityNerd had the honor of hosting a bike ride on Lake Washington Boulevard for the last weekend of 2023 that the linear parkway, which frequently devolves into a motorist speedway, was closed to cars. One of the attendees was Best Side Cycling, a vlogger with a YouTube channel who highlights various bike routes in the Greater Seattle area — “especially focusing on new bike infrastructure, trails, and hard climbs.”

The Urbanist, like most Seattleites, supports pedestrianizing Lake Washington Boulevard year-round. Visit the Seattle Parks engagement hub on “Lake Washington Boulevard Renovations Project” or email project lead, Jordon Hoy (Jordan.Hoy@seattle.gov), to voice your support for a safer boulevard.
