Join fellow cyclists on Saturday the 25th for a leisurely ride down historic El Cajon Boulevard complete with barhopping, dining, and special events at local businesses.

“Bicycling has a way of bringing more vibrancy to a city,” Beryl Forman aka Miss Boulevard, marketing manager for the El Cajon Boulevard Business Improvement Association, told the Reader in February. “When you see a bunch of bikes in front of a business, it’s attractive, and it draws people in.”

Forman has organized several Bike the Boulevard rides since the beginning of last year, spotlighting the Boulevard’s thriving arts, music, and businesses.
