Summer Parkways is inspired by an annual event held in Bogota, Colombia called Ciclovia (meaning “bike path” in Spanish) and similar events throughout the world. The focus is on recreation, fitness, and community. For one evening, we close streets to automobiles and open them up to bikes, pedestrians, skaters, and other human-powered transportation.
Physical activities like yoga, Zumba, hula hoops, gymnastics, tai chi, fencing, dancing, Pilates, self-defense, jump rope, hacky sack, and martial arts are offered free along the course. Folks of all ages and abilities may enter and exit the course at any point and enjoy these activities. Participants are also encouraged to bring their own games and hobbies (e.g. picnics, music, chalk art, hopscotch, bubbles, juggling, etc).
Summer Parkways is open to all forms of people-powered, non-motorized transport. This does not include powered scooters or skateboards, or hoverboards. If you ride a pedal assist bicycle, please travel a safe speed and ensure that you follow the rules of the road.
