May is "Bike To Work Month"!

Coinciding with my starting to commute to work via bike (trike), I've found out that May is Bike To Work Month! What a cool coincidence! The way May is starting out, the weather is already getting ready for it! Going along with this fact, REI is offering a whole host of options to help make biking to work a little bit easier for you. They are offering free bike maintenance classes at their Alderwood, Redmond, and Seattle stores to teach the essentials of bike maintenance to get you ready for riding. Friday, May 18th is also Starbucks Bike To Work Day and there will be 37 commute stations set up at various locations throughout the region to stop and pick up some free goodies like water bottles, snacks, and maps! This would be a great thing to let your coworkers know about and get everybody to ride into work on the 18th, or all month for that matter! Join in the fun and make a difference by getting your car off the road, if for only a day or a month, as every little bit helps!
