Bike To Work Week: Coming Up Soon


I know Bike To Work Week is still a while away (May 11-15), but you may want to check out their website now anyway.

Organizers say it will be more like ‘Bike to Everything’ week this year; elements are being added to encourage bike transportation for all purposes, not just getting to work. Spokane will be the first city in Washington to join the nationwide ‘Bicycle Benefits’ program, with businesses signed up to offer special discounts to cyclists. Individuals and teams will be able to participate in a new Commuter Challenge sponsored by Group Health.

And there are other new developments as well, along with other local non-motorized news. So just because registration for Bike To Work Week isn't open yet doesn't mean there aren't a lot of other reasons to visit the BTW website.
