Event Recap: Spin into Bike Month

by | May 16, 2023 | News

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Sam Smith Park for Spin into Bike Month, presented by Lime!

With longer-lit days and less rain, May is the perfect time to get back into biking in the PNW. May is also National Bike Everywhere Month – a time to support, encourage, and celebrate all things cycling.  

Commute Seattle celebrated Bike Month by hosting Spin into Bike Month on May 11 at Sam Smith Park off the I-90 trail, a popular trail for biking, rolling, and walking.  

Cyclists enjoyed a prize wheel with prizes sourced from Free Range Cycles and Goodweather, free lights and reflectors, tacos from Sunrise Tacos, sweet tea from Tacos Chukis, and hop water from Metier Brewing.
