Make Every Day Bike-to-Work Day

Somehow I missed that May 12^th was bike-to-work day across the country. Don't get me wrong, I biked to work, I just can't say I saw any sign of it being any different from the rest of the week, month, or year. In the triangle I didn't see scores of cyclists crowding the streets to participate in the event. It seems as though most of the bike-to-work day events that come up on a Google search are in sunny southern California.

Dear Triangle,
    We don't live in California. I know it has been a bit muggy/drizzly/cool here in the Triangle, to which I say you don't know the pleasure of riding in this weather unless you've tried it. I generally don't like to ride through downpours, but drizzle, sprinkles, showers, mist are all delightful riding companions...as long as you have a change of clothes, and fenders.

Sincerely,
Tabb

What I'm getting at is that I think just about every day in the triangle could be bike-to-work day. The weather is almost always acceptable. In the winter daylight is a bit short making it hard to bike both to and from work, but the triangle bus systems are great at filling in the after-dark/before-light gaps.

Anyhow, bike-to-work day may actually be on May 20^th, and bike-to-work week May 16^th-20^th. This discrepancy with other reports putting bike to work day on May 12^th just tells me cyclactivistas^TM need to get our own act together and start communicating to pick one day. It could make for a more impressive showing if bike-to-work day happens on one day.

Come out and bike with me any day, the invitation is open, sadly nobody is responding. I know you're out there dying to start biking to work. See Y'all out there.
