The seattlelikesbikes group is organizing a second ride for Stone Way today. Here are the details from their site. Hope you can make it out.
4:30pm Meet up at Gas Works Park. 5-6pm Ride!
Two months ago, on August 1st, hundreds of cyclists rode to protest the removal of a planned bike lane on Stone Way and the extended closure of the popular Fremont segment of the Burke-Gilman trail.
Two months have passed and NOTHING has changed!
The City has broken their August promise to reopen the Fremont segment of the Burke-Gilman Trail. The City’s reassurances that their “sharrows” on Stone Way were a safe alternative to the originally planned bike lane don’t ring true.
In early October, the Seattle City Council is planning to finalize this unacceptable, compromised Stone Way situation in the new Bicycle Master Plan. We ride to hold the Mayor and City Council accountable to the original promises made to cyclists, to make Seattle a safer, more welcoming city for cyclists.

Take the lane, it’s safe—if not safer than relegating yourself in a bike lane!
