    Time details Meet at 5:30; ride at 6!

    Ride with us to learn about Portland's illustrious history of community opposition to freeway expansion. We'll start in Southeast Portland's Piccolo Park (originally bulldozed to make way for the Mt Hood Freeway!) and swing through town to see the scars left in the inner city from freeway expansion. We'll conclude near the Rose Quarter, where ODOT keeps trying to spend half a billion dollars on freeway expansion despite the fact that it's, you know, 2018, and that any sensible investment in our region's transportation system considerate of public health, equity, carbon emissions or congestion relief involves more transit, biking and walking instead of lanes of freeway.
