The North Sound Bicycle Advocates invite the public to their Celebration Station on May 14, running from 6:30 to 9:00 a. m. at 228th Street Southwest on the Interurban Trail.

The gathering encourages cyclists to stop by, whether commuting or leisurely riding.

Advocates will provide information about their efforts to enhance cycling safety and accessibility in the area.
