Bike to Work Week!

[shootingstar]

I hope everyone is having fun!

2nd time I volunteered at a bike commuter stop station this wk. Why is that I choose time slots when it rains, today gusty winds?

Today's corner is a busy car traffic corner with intersecting bike lanes, with one coming off a road bridge.

But our commuter-team volunteer gang were whopping up at all the bike commuters stopping by for bagel cream 'cheese, juice, muffins, cinnamon buns,etc., bike maps, etc. or bypassing us. Music was blasting out of the boombox --if you could hear it above the traffic roar. Some of us were stuffing a free orange or banana in the cyclist's backpack/hand as they were waiting for traffic light to change.

I was the bean counter at this junction. 4 pm - 6pm: approx. 55 cyclists stopped by eat/pick up info/ chat up with plus 50 additional cyclists who did not stop in the cold rain. 10 pedestrians.

Kudos to those cyclists who did stop in the rain.

At several bike stations this wk. so far, there is always a willing volunteer to take photos of the booth, etc.
The Canadian Weather TV network channel will feature a short time slot at a bike commuter station duringthis week..for noon, this Sat. May 16. (Yea, ok when most people are running around town doing stuff, not snuggled up in living rm.)
