Support the Riverpoint Commute Trip Reduction group and the Spokane Community during Bike to Work Week. Work to eat. Eat to live. Live to bike. Bike to work. That is the message from Bike to Work Spokane, a project of the city's Bicycle Advisory Board and the Bicycle Alliance of Washington. Lower your stress, improve your health, burn calories, not carbon, wave at the gas prices as you coast by, and enjoy your trip to work--what could be easier? Log on at www.biketoworkspokane.org and register. As a participant, you pledge to bike to work, school, or errands the week of May 12-16. If you're one of the first 300 to register, we give you a cool T-shirt and other stuff at one of our events: the kickoff riders' breakfast at Riverfront Park Monday, May 12, 7-9 a.m., or the wrap-up party at the Steam Plant Grill Friday, May 16, 4:30-6:30 p.m. In between, you can bike to work with your kids on May 14; Spokane Public Schools is encouraging kids in the elementary schools to participate. At the wrap-up party, we'll also give away prizes to registered participants (must be present to win), including a way-cool foldable commuter bike donated by REI.
