Bike-to-Work week, May 6-10 (er... 13-17)
 

If you presently don't commute :eek: , are you willing to give it a try during this week? You might find (as most commuters already know) that is a very enjoyable experience. :thumbup:
And you get extra miles on the bike.

If you do commute, are you talking about this with your neighbors or coworkers? Maybe you'll find a commuting partner. :beer:


I'm the only bike commuter where I work. In fact I think I'm the only person who owns a bike. :(
But I'm putting up notices around the building. Maybe someone will want to join me, even if they're on their kid's bike. :D

According to this from the NBDA, it's actually May 13-19. That's when most of the events I can find take place.

But I'm all for two back-to-back bike-to-work-weeks!

Riiight, my cow-orkers commute to work on a bicycle?!? They already think I'm nuts. I'd even be willing to bet that there's a secret pool going on the date that I get "offed" by a car.

I do try to make suggestions about the benefits of cycling though when the opportunity arises. They all think exercise comes from the latest fad pill or powder.

PH
:D

I'm going to have to goad the NT guy (who lives two miles from work) about biking; after all, if I can cycle in 18 miles, he can do two[1].

On the radio the other day, there was an ad blaring about yet another miracle diet-pill, enabling its users to "Lose weight without
strenuous exercise!" What I don't understand is that Americans, as a culture, worship youth and athletes, yet mostly refuse to act youthful (have fun) or engage in athletic activity?

[1] This has been my first serious commuting week, and I love it; had to drive today[2], but I've biked in three days so far this week, and I'm hoping the weather stays nice next week...

[2] I came dangerously close to bonking yesterday; came home and inhaled some fruit and a PB&J, plus almost a pound of fried chicken. Feel much better now. So today, I'm recuperating, and not riding 18 miles in freezing rain because...I'm a pansy.

You're right Andy. My mistake. :( The League of American Bicyclists says it is May 13-17.

I was getting it confused with the Bike There! ride that is May 4. I was thinking it was scheduled on that date to "kick off" Bike-to-Work week the following week. Sorry folks.

Good point John.

I think the only exercise my coworkers get is pressing the button on the remote control.
Although they will occasionally push back from their desks and go out for a power lunch.

You say what is a power lunch?
Extra large coke and extra large fries with the double whopper. :rolleyes: :(

San Diego's official B2W day is Friday the 17th. It is always fun, with lots of free food and handouts.

Join the club, Spiderman! :D

My more cynical nature inclines me to think of "Bike to Work" week as "Business as Usual." :p

Ok, so I'm a little condescending... :rolleyes:

If you had told me this plenty of time in advance, I could have ridden there in time for the food! (How long does it take me to ride to California?)

:fun:

thats the BIGGEST JOKE to comutters ive ever heard of!
cagers wont DARE leave there primotial means of transport

Bike to Work Week is quite a popular event, at least where I live.
