B*ke to Work Day 2007

UniBrier · 2007-05-16T23:23:44+00:00

A lot of cities are participating in B*ke to Work Day this Friday, May 18, 2007. Any Unicycle to Work participants? I think I'll do the big three mile trek, there's a 'Commute Station' (http://cbcef.org/btw/btw_stations.html) on the way with free stuff and I need a new water bottle. -- UniBrier Steve Hop Drop & Roll “If something is to hard to do, then it's not worth doing.

This week is 'bike to work week' at my job. (I work at a Patagonia
outlet) I usually ride to work every day on my road bike, but I decided
to do something different for this week so instead i've been riding my
Muni. It's not too big of a deal since I live quite close by, but it's
a nice change of pace and it's been kind of fun. In general I think
bicycle commuting is a great thing; it offers a chance to decompress
after working and if the weather's nice it provides a great opportunity
to enjoy it.

Hrmmm.... I have a 30+ mile commute... mostly on freeway... Not sure I
could do that on my 24" muni... and if I did, I'd have to go home...
I guess I will have to stick to my 45 minute ride at lunch...

So you guys go on rides every friday or do you just meet or what?
U know, with 10 people, you could probably get a club started with your
school's permission.
If I could gather enough kids on campus here to start a club, the
student association would fund the club! That would mean I could buy
some unicycles for people to learn on. I just need to get around to
finding enough people.

Me and my friend tried starting one. We had like 100 signatures and a
teacher to support it. but the school or the district said it was
"dangerous and they don't have insurance for it".
even though they can play football and any other sport.

I usually ride every day...from the bus stop to my office and back.
Someone told me "Cycle to Work Day" was yesterday......if freebies are
involved I'll definitely ride on Friday.

This week has been designated "Bike to Work Week" here in Santa Cruz
County. There's free breakfast tomorrow morning. Altho, since I
usually do the "roll out of bed" (tele)commute, I don't know if I'll be
up to getting dressed just to go out for breakfast. 😉

We meet after school with our unis and ride. We sometimes stay at
school but we sometimes go to a college with cool stuff. If we get
kicked out of one we go to the other. Its usually pretty fun. Unless
we get in trouble with the police and then it just sucks.

We've had our local cycling organization, Chico Velo, sponsor the Bike
to Work week events. Each morning in our downtown plaza, they offer
coffee, tea, fruit, and other goodies to commuters, as well as services
like engraving license numbers on bike frames. Plus, they hand out "I
Biked" stickers that are supported by lots of downtown businesses (10%
off at my favorite LBS, 25% off at lots of restaurants, etc.). I rode
my 29er on Tuesday, and had a spectacular blowout halfway home and
ended up walking a couple miles. But it was fun to uni to work.
