If you're reading this, hopefully the following scenario is accurate: You’re sitting in front of your computer after work tired yet happy that you rode your bike on this rainy day and you don't regret the sugar coma from the pancake feed this morning in Riverfront Park for the kick-off of Bike To Work week. Yeah.

If that assumption is accurate you’re one of the many who registered for Spokane Bikes and you’re one of the people who understand the importance of being loud and proud of your alternative transportation decision. At the heart, Bike To Work Week is an effort by cyclists to create more cyclists; to share their passions, to raise awareness about the benefit of cycling - both from an alternative transportation standpoint and a health and fitness standpoint - and to actively champion improved bicycle amenities, infrastructure, and regulations

That means the participation level and enthusiasm of Spokane Bikes organizers and participants is as important now as it’s ever been. As part of Spokane Bikes, check out this map for the 2012 Energizer stations, where you can get coffee and snack at a variety of locations during your commute:

Don't forget: You can't miss the Wrap Up party on Thursday at 4:30pm at the Steam Plant Grill.

There will also be rides of joy and celebration, many of them, as we look back on a wonderful year of growing Spokane’s bicycle culture and look forward to future successes like Summer Parkways and Spokefest. Remember, riding a bike is fun. And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters so ride safe Spokane!
