Doggie Pedal Parade

DOGGIE PEDAL PARADE
Time's Up! Goes to the Dogs

Meet 2:00 PM at the Traffic island on south end of Union Square East, between Broadway & 4th Ave

Bring your dog and bicycle to the first annual Doggie Pedal Parade.

The ride will highlight bicycles adapted to transport pets (see 5/13 workshop) as well as the benefits of adopting homeless animals. The ride route will feature animal adoption sites and animal friendly locations.

Cyclists without dogs are encouraged to ride dressed as their favorite animals or join the Safety Pooch Patrol to help escort the ride. Face painter will be available.

Spectators are encouraged to join the cheering sections at selected points along the route, such as the Animal Haven Adoption Center and Tompkins Square Park. They are also invited to meet at the end of the ride for snacks, drinks and free Trails to Tails adoption maps at a doggie celebration on the south side of Washington Square Park at Sullivan St, near the dog run.

Bicyclists will use baskets and trailers to take their dogs along for the ride and dogs up for adoption will be in parade floats pulled by bicycles and decorated to honor selected animal rescue groups.

*To prevent any Ruff Riding and for the fun and safety of the group, non-social pets are asked to stay at home.
