The young and young at heart take over the bridge with bikes

Before hundreds

of people walked across the new Whilamut Passage Bridge at our opening
celebration, about 60 kids and family members got to ride their bicycles across
it.

The ride was
made possible thanks to Kidical Mass Eugene, an organization whose purpose is
to teach kids, parents and caregivers safety skills and provide a ride in which
to practice them. 

The
family-friendly ride began in Fairmount Park, after which the kids and their
friends and family members headed over the bridge. They took in the
breathtaking views of the river. They also posed in front of Lillian Pitt’s “River”
design enhancement and talked to the artist herself.
