Seattle permitted a car commercial shoot in the middle of Bicycle Weekends and an accessible cycling event Photo from a reader. It's the Tom Flood meme come to life. "Bicycles deliver the freedom that auto ads promise." Sunday, a permitted commercial shoot for Rivian shut down a section of Lake Washington Boulevard during the penultimate Bicycle Weekends open streets event. It wasn't just any Bicycle Weekend day, though, it was also Bike & Scoot Sundays (PDF), an accessible cycling event in which SDOT, Lime and Bird partner with Outdoors for All to lend out adaptive cycles for free that people with a wide range of disabilities can ride along what was supposed to be a car-free Lake Washington Boulevard. https://www.seattlebikeblog.com/2025/09/07/seattle-permitted-a-car-commercial-shoot-in-the-middle-of-bicycle-weekends-and-an-accessible-cycling-event/
