Seattle Queer History Bike Tour

Sunday, August 15, 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. 

In partnership with MoPOP and Cascade Bicycle Club, Certified Ride Leader and Historian Bob Svercl will lead a group of riders on a 5.6 mile bike tour from Capitol Hill through Pioneer Square to MoPOP, stopping at historic and iconic sites around Seattle while hearing stories and learning about Seattle’s LGBTQIA+ history.

Folks who want to continue their exploration of LGBTQIA+ stories and culture can leave their bike at the bike valet and head inside to see Rise Up: Stonewall and the LGBTQ Rights Movement at MoPOP with purchase of an advance, timed ticket.

Meet at Volunteer Park from noon to 1 p.m. for bike decorating and pre-ride socializing. At 1:00 p.m., we will gather and head out on a rain or shine, no-drop, casual bike and e-bike friendly ride that will wrap up at the MoPOP plaza with trivia and prizes.

NOTE: If you are purchasing a ticket to see Rise Up on Sunday August 15 after the ride, select a time slot AFTER 3:30 p.m., the time when the group is expected to arrive at MoPOP.

Space is limited, so if you feel you can’t commit to the ride, please help us ensure that as many people as possible get to experience it! If you need to cancel, please let us know by August 8.
