Bicycle Advisory Committee
Bike Beaverton ’09
The 2nd Annual Bike Beaverton community ride was a resounding success! More than 230 riders, led by Mayor Doyle, enjoyed the family friendly pedal through the streets of Beaverton. The day started off with the Beaverton Police Department’s safety Bike Rodeo for kids. While riding through an obstacle course, the kids had fun learning maneuvering skills and how to become safe, confident and aware bike riders. Safety mechanics from the Bike Gallery, Washington County Bicycle Transportation Coalition (WashCo BTC), and Frans Pauwels Community Bicycle Center inspected bikes. The folks from the Northwest Bicycle Safety Council fit, inspected, and supplied over 70 free helmets to those in need. Beaverton’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) was on scene to provide first aid, though none was needed, and neighborhood volunteers, many from Vose, Central Beaverton, and Highland NACs, ride marshal and course monitor volunteers, neighborhood cheerleaders, and staff volunteers from Creekside Village Retirement and Hearthstone Assisted Living made the day memorable and fun. Northern Alliance drum line helped send the bikers on their way, and to add to the fun, musical entertainment was provided throughout the event by Lew Jones and Amish Love Child. Trader Joes provided water, and the City provided free ice cream to participants and volunteers.
