An Inconvenient Ride (http://inconvenientride.com/) is a 5,400 mile cross country bicycle ride by students from Seattle's Chief Sealth High School and Gatewood Elementary. These Seattle public school students are riding across the country to raise awareness of environmental programs that are making a tangible difference.

In a pioneering and collaborative effort, Sealth and Gatewood Elementary students have joined together to launch an innovative environmental program in their community that serves as a pilot project for the Green Seattle Partnership.
