Bike to Work Day 2010
Yippee skippee, it’s Bike to Work Day 2010. Lots of people are riding bikes and there is much free food at Whole Foods Market.
The bikes (a tiny fraction):
The people:
These folks were demoing an electric assist bike with the battery located in a little trailer. A fabulously clever idea, but they didn’t seem to be generating as much interest as the free coffee and oatmeal (What? No fritatas this year??).
Lots of people will be back to driving to work tomorrow after their little adventure. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, I’m not so sure I want to share my morning commute with all those nice people more than once a year.
Update 24-June-2010 The Day After Bike to Work Day:
Wrong again! I saw more bike riders on this morning’s commute than I ever remember seeing before, especially out in the hinterlands. I must enjoy the taste of my own words since I eat them so often.
