The Science Factory, Willamette Resources and Educational Network (WREN), and the City of Eugene are hosting the 3rd Annual Bike Day event on Saturday, June 2. Join in the fun in the morning, the afternoon, or do it all for the best chance to win raffled prizes.

MORNING: Start your day by biking or walking the Fern Ridge Bike Path through the scenic West Eugene Wetlands between Beltline and Greenhill Road. From 10 a.m.-1 p.m. several local organizations will have booths set up along the path with information on wetland wildlife, restoration projects, and the future education center. Visit: www.wewetlands.org for additional information.

AFTERNOON: Visit the Science Factory from 12-4 for bike safety demonstrations, marimba music, free Ben and Jerry's ice cream, free bike tune ups, unicyclists, racing demos and other fun examples of human powered transportation. Inside the museum, there will be planetarium plenaries with cool sustainability speakers including Secretary of State Bill Bradbury. Many of the day's participants will be recognized by Mayor Kitty Piercy, including Eugene’s Sustainable Business of the Month and the Climate Masters. Learn more: www.sciencefactory.org

DO IT ALL: Visit both the West Eugene Wetlands and the Science Factory to increase your chances of winning raffled prizes by getting the most “stamps” on your Bike Day passport. Passports will be available at the day of the event at both the West Eugene Wetlands and the Science Factory.
