Summer Parkways a hit

Tue., July 5, 2016

A tip of the bicycle helmet to the organizers, volunteers and participants who made Summer Parkways such a success. And a thanks also to the non-participants for their patience in rerouting.

At a time when America seems preoccupied with problems of hate, violence and fear, events like Summer Parkways are welcome reminders that there is still hope for us. We are still a community that can have healthy and respectful fun together on a beautiful evening. Good work and thanks to all.
