This Friday, May 16 is National Bike to Work day. Locally, Cascade Bicycle Club is organizing the event with commut stations, free give aways, and classes and training.

It’s the one day of the year when tens of thousands of ordinary folks are motivated to leave their cars at home and hop on a bike instead.

With our community’s concern for the environment and gas prices on the rise, biking to work is an easy way to make a difference. Even if you are not a regular commuter, join us this Friday for Starbucks Bike to Work Day. We’ve even got a special workshop on Tuesday night to answer those burning questions from new commuters.

So come on Seattle! Let’s show our families, neighbors, co-workers, politicians, business leaders and the media that WE LOVE BIKES!

Ride in from the north, south, east or west! We’ve got 42 commute stations ready to treat you right this Friday. Bike to Work Day T-shirts are will be on sale for $12!

update:So, the Seattle Times has posted a follow up with some interesting stats and info. Biking Bis has found that 23,000 people rode to work yesterday. I took my usual btw morning ride, but saw plenty on the Burke on the way home.
