Happy Earth Day- SRTC Is Forming A Biker Gang (Bicycles That Is)


In honor of Earth Day, we have bikes coming out our ears today in the SRTC offices. Not only do we get our new bike from the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) program today, but everyone else brought theirs in to ride too. Ryan rides pretty regularly. Jeff just took it up (doctor prescribed by the way-but he's really jazzed about it). Tony decided that if Jeff is going to ride on a regular basis he'd bring his bike so they could ride together. Then Steve got jealous because he doesn't have a bike but wants to ride with the guys, so I told him he could use the CTR bike until he gets one. Even Bonnie has her bike here today. Wow, it's like it's contagious.

I'm just getting ready to go to the ceremony at City Hall to get our new bike, so will post pictures later today.

So what name will you use for the Bike to Work Commute Challenge team that has obviously already formed? :D

All you need to do now is register at www.biketoworkspokane.org.... Oh, yes, and bike to work and/or for other transportation uses sometime May 10-16, 2009!

We're still brainstorming our name. I suggested the 'SRTC Fighting Jackalopes' but no one liked that. We're also arguing over what to name our CTR bike. This may have to go to the SRTC Board :)
