Bike to Work Day

I just got back from a short ride with Pia out to Mill Valley and back to San Francisco. While riding to work is impossible for Pia, we decided to go for an early morning ride and show support to the many riders that we saw along the way.

The "energizer station" that was set-up on the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge was amazing. The station was packed with local news reporters, dozens of cyclists and tables full of free swag, bagels and hot coffee. Best of all, volunteers were there to encourage cyclists to join the SF and Marin bicycle coalitions and help support their mission of creating a more bike-friendly community.

Creating more bike-friendly roads and generating awareness of bicycle commuting (and the impact they can have on the environment) is a very important issue. I only hope that the people who decide to commute today have fun and make it a daily activity.
