This fri – June 29 – is the last bike month event. Come to Ezio Farone Park on the North West side of the High Level Bridge for Mocktails. 4-6 – music, pedal powered smoothies, cool bikes, happy cyclists, lounging and frollicing. Feel free to wear gaudy clip-on earings, flashy, fancy, or flakey dress….or sweaty t-shirts, doesn’t matter.
After the Mocktails there will be a memorial ride with Critical Mass across the High Level Bridge. Please read below an invitation from Daryl and Charlotte, parents of Owen who passed away after a brave fight against leukemea

Greetings,
COME TO THE OWEN RICHEL MEMORIAL CRITICAL MASS BIKE RIDE
A critical mass is a monthly gathering of cyclists who ride together on the streets to demonstrate that bikes are a great way to get around. It’s sort of a political parade of bikes. Last year Owen rode his bike across the High Level Bridge during the June critical mass. This year the critical mass is dedicated to Owen. Here are the details:
WHERE: Meet in front of City Hall by the fountain
WHEN: The ride starts at 5:30 pm tomorrow Friday, June 29th
ROUTE: The ride usually goes down Jasper Avenue, over the High Level Bridge and then east along Whyte Avenue finishing at Gazebo Park. It’s a slow easy ride that ends around 6:30 or 7 pm. The ride is a lot of fun. You can ride all of the route or just part of it.
Owen loved riding his bike so hope to see you tomorrow on your
two-wheeled friend as we ride in Owen’s memory.
Love,
Daryl and Charlotte
