Weekend Event Guide

Filmed by Bike 2009-38

Filmed by Bike kicks of Friday
with a big street party.

We know the weather isn’t much of a sign, but with the volume of events we’ve got for you this weekend, it seems spring is finally here. From the ever-popular Filmed by Bike and Kidical Mass, to volunteer opportunities and even a ride in Vancouver — there’s no shortage of fun stuff to do on a bike. Whatever you end up doing, don’t forget that the Broadway Bridge will be closed to all vehicles (that means bikes too!) on Saturday.

Enjoy the weekend!
