CASCADE BICYCLE CLUB'S PEDAL RELIEF PROJECT

Description

We are looking to form a group of Green Lake Elementary families to deliver food by bike to food-insecure neighbors via Cascade Bicycle Club’s Pedal Relief Project. Our initial target is to do this once a month starting in the Spring of 2024 and make it a recurring activity throughout the year. We believe this would be a great way for the bicycle-active families of Green Lake Elementary to engage with each other while also doing good within our nearby communities. 

Please email garettcycles@gmail.com if interested.


Sign up for Green Lake Elementary's May 18th delivery ride at: https://volunteer.cascade.org/acts/console.php?console_type=event_list&event_id=4094&console_id=0100&ht=1

Meet at the University District Food Bank at 5017 Roosevelt Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105 (map). At the front of the building there is a large garage door and you’ll find us gathered just inside of the garage. Only bikes are allowed in the garage during the times below.

As riders arrive for the group rides we'll split up between the group taking bags to apartment buildings in Ravenna and the group who is going to the Arbora court apartments building.

Both groups leave the food bank promptly at 9:30am.

  • a helmet;
  • a way to carry a bag of groceries (panniers, rack, basket, backpack, trailer);

If you have a trailer, bring that. If not, we have ones you can borrow, and we're happy to show you how to use them too.
 
We divide into teams based on interest (see activities listed below).
