This week is Bike to Work Week and this Friday (May 18th) is Bike to Work Day.
In Minnesota, the focus is on safety, in Park Rapids, the focus is on multi-generational riders, for Britney and Paris, its about avoiding DUIs and flogging flagging careers.
But who cares about all of them, this is Northfield and here it’s about enjoying healthy recreation, saving gas money, respecting the environment and celebrating our sense of place. Bill Ostrem has just sent me an e-mail saying that RENew Northfield will be providing coffee and bagels on Bridge Square (in Downtown Northfield) from 6:30 to 8:00 am, so I guess it’s about coffee with friends too.
So, dust off the seat, pump up the tires, stretch out your muscles and…
…ride your bike to work this Friday.
Gee, sorry I missed this chance to ride from Northfield to Rochester to work … (I’ve heard of someone doing exactly that, by the way).
But I just don’t have the time. Luckily, my bosses let me telecommute one day a week!
That stretch through Sogn Valley would be worth the trip!
Ross, with the title of this blog post, you’re likely going to give the spam filter a real workout!
Griff, yeah but think of the hits we’re going to get during sweeps season!
