    Bike Week / Bike to Work Day 2011

    Hello - it's that time of year - many cities have Bike to Work Day sometime in May. In LA, it's May 19.

    This year, I'm trying to coordinate something with my company. Has anyone done this before? Any tips?

    Here in San Francisco, it's May 12. Sadly, I missed it last year because I didn't have a bike. I am excited to take part this year!

    I'm the librarian at an elementary school, so I'm going to do Bike To School Day on Bike to Work Day (after all, a student's full time job is school). All students who bike or walk to school on that day will be given a ticket and entered into a drawing to win prizes (blinky lights for backpacks, drawstring backpack type bags that I have leftover from International Bike and Walk to School Day back in October). I'll also raffle off some leftover posters from the Book Fair and bookmarks.

    If any teachers Bike to Work (or walk to work), I will have a raffle with cooler prizes. I'm thinking of offering a "free recess duty ticket" where I'll take one of their duties for them, also offer some other things they may want (like a spa basket).

    It'll be the first time I'm doing anything for the school on Bike to Work Day, so we'll see how it goes...

    I like that, Tri Girl. I wonder if my work will pitch in with something.

    Tri Girl, I offered several activities at my school, the last year I taught (when I was doing a long term sub in 2008) for Bike to Work Week. The only one that had any takers was an 8 mile ride I led for about 5 teachers who signed up.
    But, at least I raised awareness...
