Bike rodeos, free coffee and card-and-clothespin noisemakers are a few things that make this Friday’s Bike to Work Day an all-island event. Bainbridge schools – especially Sakai – have a host of events and giveaways to encourage kids to ride to class. Squeaky Wheels will be passing out free bike schwag at the ferry terminal for adults on their way to office jobs in the big city.
Hats off to Squeaky Wheeler Joel Levin who snagged all the noisemaker makings, designed the poster (right) and is waking up early to hand out coffee at 4:30 a.m.
Checkout Squeaky Wheels’ newly refurbished website for more information on Bike to Work Day (pssst – it also has island ride maps, a detailed how-to guide for ferry commuters and a calendar of regional cycling events).
My story is below.
