As we’ve reported previously, Cascade Bicycle Club is bringing back the Emerald City Ride this year on April 25, on a route including the westbound West Seattle Bridge. They’re sponsoring WSB right now to amplify the ride, with one week left to register – here’s their message!
Who We Are
Cascade Bicycle Club is the nation’s largest statewide bicycling nonprofit, serving bike riders of all ages, races, genders, income levels, and abilities throughout the state of Washington. We teach the joys of bicycling, advocate for safe places to ride, and produce world-class rides and events!
What We Do
Our signature programs include the Seattle to Portland, Free Group Rides, the Pedaling Relief Project, Your Streets Your Say advocacy training, the Bike Walk Roll Summit, Let’s Go, and the Major Taylor Project.
Emerald City Ride
Register for our upcoming Emerald City Ride and see Seattle by bike from a state highway! We’re taking over southbound SR-99 and the westbound West Seattle Bridge for an early morning spin around Alki and a jaunt south to Fauntleroy. This 20-mile ride offers a car-free experience for the first three and a half miles and takes you past some of the best lookout points and views of the Seattle skyline and Puget Sound’s islands.
Ten miles of nearly flat terrain transforms into a hill climb up from the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal. Riders are rewarded with a gradual downhill grade through Delridge on the return to downtown Seattle via the low bridge.
Come celebrate the return of the Emerald City Ride, which has been on pause since 2024.
