Back in June, the first Bike the Block Ride for Black Lives attracted dozens of cyclists of all ages and races to a the-mile ride around the east side of Cleveland.
If you missed it (or enjoyed it so much you want to do it again) Bike the Block II takes place Saturday August 22, starting from and ending at Thurgood Marshall Park (8611 Hough Avenue). The 12-mile ride will make a loop through Hough, University Circle, Glenville, East Cleveland and the Superior-St. Clair neighborhood. Wear black!
As they explain, “We Bike for Black Lives. We are biking for a high-quality future for black lives. We bike for Breonna Taylor. We bike for George Floyd. We bike for Ahmaud Arbery. We bike for justice. We bike for freedom. We bike for black joy. We bike for black rest. We bike for black love. We bike for black lives.”
Everyone is welcome, including kids if they are up to cycling 12 miles and following the rules of the road. It takes place rain or shine, and they will also be doing voter registration and census completion.
No registration is required. Just show up. More info here.
