Bike to Work Week!

[shootingstar]

So this morning it was a steady rain when I was volunteering at one of the different spots for Bike to Work Wk. stations tents/table in our city. We were right in front of a community college.

About 45-50 cyclists in total did drop by in the rain for food, prizes and info. (8 am - 10 am). There was lots of food ...fresh fruit, juices, muffins, scones, donuts and coffee. Included a mother with her child in bike trailer.

Would say at least 15 cyclists whizzed by unwilling to stop because it was too wet or they had to get somewhere on time. A few didn't seem to notice our table.

This wk. there will at least 15-20 different bike to work week locations for bike commuter stop tents/tables for city and suburbs for food, info. Then there will be mega BQ downtown for bike commuters --several thousand cyclists. I plan to go, because it's so close to home...almost embarrassing that I cycle there, yet maybe not.

Just heard from my partner who is in Brussels today, his lst day there. It is also Bike to Work Week or whatever there. He did roam around downtown but didn't see much evidence of the week/event being marketed as such.
