Here in Maine, we have an "commuter connections" organization (http://www.gomaine.org/) promoting alternatives to single-occupancy commuting, and every year, they sponsor "Commute Another Way Day (http://www.gomaine.org/cawday/)". Bicycling is mentioned as one alternative, but public transportation and carpooling are also promoted. Today is Commute Another Way Day for 2005. In addition to 2 of us who regularly bike commute anyway, and one who often walks, we had 5 car-poolers and a bus rider for the day, and we all had a "pot-luck" breakfast in the kitchen.
I know most of you aren't in Maine, but I mention it just for your awareness. If you cycle partly due to environmental or oil usage awareness, I think it's an even better idea than just "bike to work" days, since it promotes all the alternatives on a single day.
