Women on Wheels event

[kfergos]

Hi Ladies,

Gregg's Cycle in Greenlake is having a women-only bicycling event March 4th that you're all invited to. I'll be there at the Bicycle Alliance of Washington table and I'd love to meet y'all in person! Also, I have *awesome* free neon yellow stickers that say things like "I don't even know how much gas costs," or "45 mpb - 45 miles per burrito," or my personal favorite, "I am traffic."

I hope if you're in the area you'll stop by!

Here's the press release:
