Ride is a loop
This is the third of three rides sponsored by The Deaf Look Club, a subsidiary of Bridge City Montessori School, which is committed to bringing socially accessible events to the Deaf community. Responding to a need for communication-accessible bicycle rides, Deaf Look Club is proud to present three family-themed rides for Pedalpalooza! All rides will feature communication in spoken English and American Sign Language. The bicycling Deaf community, their families, and their allies are all welcome! Our final ride is August 10th. BCMS is a primary age Montessori school with a unique mission. It is the only program of its kind to use a multi-lingual oral/sign approach to teaching young students. Deaf kids and their hearing counterparts learn together as equals. Our last offering meets at BCMS at 10am. We recommend this ride for families with kids age 6 and up. There will be a short introduction to BCMS programs and exciting plans to expand our services. We will be riding out to the Springwater multi use trail for an adventure on pavement and easy dirt trails along Johnson Creek, with stops at Foster Floodplain, Glenview Park, Lents Park, Essex Park, and back to the school. Rides are about 1.5 hours long and will be an easy-going 11 miles. Our goal is to introduce the local Deaf community and their allies to safe and fun bicycling in the SE Portland. Chris and Erin will lead a route through the district, talk about the local infrastructure and give advice for those who wish to use bikes for transportation in urban Portland. This is a FREE Portland PedalPalooza event! All rides start and end at the BCMS campus. Bring bikes, helmets, and water. A wet handkerchief around the neck is your friend in the heat. BCMS will offer technical support.
