Skip the traffic - ride to the Fireworks

Do something good for your country, and your community on the 4th. Skip the driving slog to the various viewpoints for the big fireworks shows. Dig out those winter commuting lights and roll past the lines of traffic in the bike lane. If you're watching the Seattle Chase Family 4th show, the Burke-Gilman trail will get you on your way quickly. I heard from Gregg's that there is even organized bike parking for the Seattle show at Gasworks Park. Do something patriotic and safe yourself the hassle.
