New Year's 2013, MOHAI-style »

It's about time for another Kidical Mass Seattle ride, and what better time than EARLY on New Year's Day 2013? Those ankle-biters don't give a flying champagne flute how late you were up, they're gonna wake when they wake.

So put some caffeination on your inebriation & sleep deprivation, and come join us for a ride to the newly opened Museum of History & Industry's Family Day event at South Lake Union Park. We've been stoked for MOHAI to open all summer - it was a hidden gem in its old location, and now it's the centerpiece of the new SLU scene.

Meet at the Ballard Library at 9:30am, roll out at 9:45. Join the ride at the Waiting for the Interurban statue in Fremont if you prefer, 10:15ish. Or meet us there! It's an easy ride, flat, lots of trail and Westlake parking lot. Speaking of which, the city is planning to put a proper separated cycle track in said parking lot, which will be de-lovely and long overdue.

And speaking of bike improvements, don't miss the chance to double your donation to Seattle Neighborhood Greenways before year's end, and support a coalition of neighborhood groups that have dramatically shifted our city's emphasis from scary bike lanes for the "fast and furious" towards family-friendly, low-stress routes.
