In partnership with Cascade Bicycle Club, Certified Ride Leader and Historian Bob Svercl led a group of cyclists on a 5.6-mile bike tour from Capitol Hill through Pioneer Square to MoPOP this past weekend, stopping at historic and iconic sites around Seattle while telling stories about Seattle’s LGBTQIA+ history.
Participants met at Volunteer Park for bike decorating and pre-ride socializing before heading out. Stops included Dorian House/Society, Lambert House, Cal Anderson Park, Ingersoll Gender Center, The Casino/Double Header, Garden of Allah/Arlington Hotel, and MoPOP’s plaza for trivia and prizes, plus an exploration of the museum’s newest exhibition, Rise Up: Stonewall and the LGBTQ Rights Movement. The free bike ride was underwritten with the generous support of First Tech Federal Credit Union.
