According to the League of American Bicyclists, this week (14-18 May) is Bike to Work Week, part of Bike Month (May), with this friday being Bike to Work DAY.
Confused?
Just enjoy the ride!

Our company celebrated Bike to Work Day today (5/17).
They gave participants breakfast and a handy little bag. The manager and one of the racers from Team Healthnet came, and gave out cards, posters, and t-shirts.
I asked the racer about which gears they use for climbing, and he said that their lowest gear on the cassette is a 23T during a typical race. Of course, on some hilly training days they'll use a 27 on the cassette "because sometimes you want to take it easy."
says the girl who just switched to a MTB cassette to get up some of those hills.
This is one of the many reasons why no one will ever pay me to race bicycles.

I love the idea of bike to work day, week, month. What gets me are the clueless souls that hit the road because "It's bike to work day!". I saw a number of them this morning, riding two abreast on busy streets or riding against traffic. Saw one guy make a left turn from the proper left turn lane, then proceeded to ride down the street, still in the left lane, next to the center divide. This was on a four lane busy road.
Be safe out there kids!

here in San Diego it's tomorrow, May 18... and they're even ADVERTISING it!!!
they're using the Amber Alert freeway signs and it's been up all week on the freeways...
I'm not riding tho as I am doing Tour of San Diego on Sat... it's long with a whole lotta climbing... and my commute is just over 40 miles with 2000ft climbing... don't want to be dead for Sat ride!There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".
