Bike to work day is coming up again, Thursday, May 14. With over 50 energizer stations (listed here) set up around Santa Clara County, and lots of other bikes on the road keeping motorists aware of bikes, Bike-to-Work Day makes it easy and safe to ride your bike to work, even if you don’t have an established biking routine. And just getting a routine established might be enough to turn you into a regular bike commuter, so give it a try!

There’s also a raffle open to people who pledge to ride their bicycle for work or errands at least once in May, with prizes including bikes from Marin and Dahon, and gear from REI. And, of course, Team Bike Challenge continues, with teams Bone on Bone from Cisco Systems, Vander-Bikers from Vander-Bend Manufacturing, and Garden City Rollers featuring San Jose Councilmember Sam Liccardo leading the Santa Clara County standings.
