Bike To Work Week Is Now Spokane Bikes!

Bike to Work Spokane has a new name- and website. Spokane Bikes and the new site is www.spokanebikes.org.

They also have a new mission: promoting all of May as Spokane Bike Month.
What does this mean for Bike to Work Week? All the traditions continue: the kickoff breakfast, the Energizer Stations around the County hosted by area businesses, and the ever-popular Wrap-Up Party at the Steam Plant Grill.

The old registration system is going away though, so if you plan to participate, you need to take a few minutes to create a new profile at the new website.

Share the link with your friends who ride for fun but don’t bike commute. The hope this year is to get everyone who rides a bike to sign up. So get going folks; May is right around the corner.

Does this mean that Spokane Police will be removing cars that block bike lanes, in the month of May?

Um, while I'd like to say "Yes," I'm not authorized to speak for the Police Department. My guess is that it will remain status quo.
