Started in 2023 Hill Family Biking is an all-volunteer group that encourages kids and families to feel comfortable riding bicycles in the urban environment that is Capitol Hill. Their monthly rides attract between 300-500 attendees, bringing smiles to the faces of those on 2 wheels as well as those watching them go by. Hill Family Biking has greatly expanded its mission in the past 3 years, creating specific rides for teens, littles, and even adults. They successfully secured a grant from the Capitol Hill Community Foundation for a bike-powered bike lane sweeper, AKA “Brush Hour”, that helps clear bike lane debris (and is available via sign up for folks wishing to use it). And they have been advocates for bike lane improvements throughout Capitol Hill, especially on 11th Street. “It takes a village,” and Hill Family Biking provides an excellent and eco-friendly way to safely navigate our village!
