can I just say that I'm SOOOO incredibly jealous of those of you who have community supported bike to work days (with stations, etc).
I wish I lived in a community who really encouraged cycling. We're getting there, but are not even close...
OTOH- I have to drive on Nat'l Bike to Work Day today.
I rode the rest of the week, but have to drive today because I have to go get trays of food for a luncheon I'm hosting for my library volunteers.
Have a great biking day!!!

I had a bike commute today
Which was pretty darn wonderful after four days of lying flat on my back griping about a stomach virus. A bit wobbly around the knees, but biking downhill was easy, on the flat ok, just had to quell the urge to start pushing it once I got someone on my rear wheel. Happy to say I managed to just ignore my tail and pedal at my own pace.
and he didn't pass either

Happy bike to work day! Today's the day for central Maryland, and even though I haven't commuted all semester because of DH's schedule, I made sure to arrange it so that I could commute today. And it couldn't have been more perfect--gorgeous weather and even the hills seemed flatter today. I made it to the rally in the county where I work (conveniently held about a mile from work in a location I pass anyway) and got a bag of goodies that are mostly junk, but I'm now the proud owner of a "choose cycling" bumper magnet. This county has an irritating "choose civility" campaign (largely irritating because the guy in charge of it is irritating--give me Miss Manners any day!) and you see their bumper magnets everywhere. One of the bike shops made these bumper magnets as a spoof on that one, and at first glance they are identical. It's going on my car as soon as I get home.

bike to work day here in Seattle too. Trouble is, it was below 50 degrees and rainy.
We got to the station and there were about 8 volunteers waiting, and only the two of us cyclists....I like Bikes - Mimi

Well, someone ordered up a fantastic day here in the D.C. region for Bike to Work Day....sunny and pleasant. Big crowds at my local WABA pit stop. We counted 40 riders at our own event - spectacularly average, but a lot of new faces, so that was good. Even Pfunk12 showed up with her posse of racer boyz to see how Silver Spring does up Bike to Work Day! Now, I've got to head home early to get to a dentist appointment!
