Every day is bike to work day for me too. We're holding Bike to Work day on May 24 this year. That's because the hospital contacted me a couple weeks ago and said "We want to do something for bike safety. Got any ideas?" and I suggested they do a Bike to Work Day, but since the official date was too soon to pull it together, we just picked a different day.
We're starting a TS101 class that same day. I'm really excited about that.

Our city (Calgary) just had Bike to Work Day this past Friday. I rode as usual (nearly daily) into work. Stopped on the way to have pancakes, sausage and coffee. When I got to city hall, there were a few politicians and staff that were heading out for a bike ride to...the place where I had pancakes.
It was a media event which was important, because the city has earmarked $28 million over 3 years for cycling. There is an aggressive plan to put in more bike lanes.My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

I'm in!
I'm also doing the national bike challenge thing, Philly is using that as their commuter challenge this year, and our team won all three months last summer so we've gotta defend that title

I'll be riding, as I am a daily bike commuter, too. I co-captained this event last year as well as our local Bike Commute Challenge month. My co-captain and I are hoping to pass on the team captain hats starting with the Bike To Work week/day.

I realized this morning that the SF Bay area's BTWD is a week ahead of the national WTWD (moved because the Tour of California is going through SF that week!) , so that's why everyone else seems to be doing it on May 17th!

I'll know later today if I'm in. Normally, I have one client on Friday, @ 9 AM. It's a doable, if a little long 18.3 miles one way to his house. I've already scouted out an alternate for one intersection that may be an issue for me on the return... uphill light/left turn with lots of traffic. The alternative has a long climb, which adds about 4 miles, but that's ok. There may be another alternative to that
I have another appt scheduled 15 minutes after that, but we are trying to get there tomorrow instead.
