Bike to Work Week! May 11th – 15th 2009
May 1, 2009 by Valley Bugler
Join your friends, neighbors and community, and RIDE to work! Cowlitz on the Move and St. John Medical Center have teamed up to promote this fun and worthwhile national event!
Get out that bike, service those chains, being sure to lube them up real good if they’ve been sitting in your garage for the winter, and maybe even take it for a spin first!
You know, it can be a little wobbly if you are carrying your pack and other goodies, too while going to work, so take it slow, and remember to wear your helmet. You just can’t trust other drivers on the road who aren’t or can’t participate in the bike to work week.
For many of us, riding a bike to work simply isn’t feasible for a whole week – but what about one day? It’s possible to get the kiddos where they need to be and then head home to pick up your bike. Who knows, you may even enjoy it so much that it becomes a weekly or monthly habit.
A friend of mine used to ride his bike to work every day!
Be sure to be safe. See you on the roads!!
