In response to feedback and negative publicity last year, organizers of Bridge Pedal have announced that they’ll make a few changes for the 2008 edition.
In an email sent out this morning, they said the 20,000 or so Bridge Pedalers who will take part in the ride will have “more room on the road.” Unlike in years past this year participants will get two full lanes on the Ross Island Bridge and organizers say the course will require “less merging of large group of riders”.
Also, in order to accomodate MAX light rail construction, the traditional ten-bridge ride will cross just eight bridges and will make two crossings each of the Marquam and Broadway spans. Check out more on the routes here.
