    This week is Bike to Work Week here, and today might be The Day, but I was working at home today, so I biked when my car was having an oil change (weird, I know, but it was a gorgeous day and better than waiting in the waiting room). Tomorrow I'll bike to work in the morning, as I did on Wednesday, and then Sunday as well, which our church celebrates as "Sustainable Travel to Worship" Day - trying to encourage a variety of alternatives: carpooling, driving a hybrid, walking, as well as biking. I'll bike.

    I used to bike all the time after taking the car to the shop. We only had one car, so it was either that, or I'd have to wait on the car, which sometimes was multiple days. (It was having clutch problems.)

    Now the mechanic is just down the street from my office, and anyway my husband takes it in for maintenance because he's the primary user of the car. Also since we finally got the clutch issues figured out, it's only in the shop a couple times a year for an oil change. And then it's because it's been 6 months, because we hardly put any miles on it anymore.

    We celebrated Bike to Work Day yesterday. The hospital had wanted to do something to promote bike safety, and I suggested Bike to Work Day. We selected May 24 as what would work best with our schedules.

    Last year, we did not have anyone to sponsor this. We volunteers bought some fruit and made muffins, got some coffee donated, no prizes or anything. We had 3 stations which drew 100 people, but most of those were students. The downtown station, which would be the hospital & med school employees, only got about 10 people.

    So this year our goal was to get more than 10! We got 30-35, which is really what I was hoping for.
