Who says you need months of prep time to pull off a successful bike to work day? The idea of promoting something about bicycling during May (bike month) was circulating on the Finger Lakes Cycling Club e-list and the Curb Your Car Coalition e-list the other day. Before you could fix a flat, the surge of interest that surfaced is amazing. In less than a week, there’s a web site up - http://icycle.org/biketowork/ - with ten routes outlined. Each route has at least one group leader. There are regular commuters and a few who are giving it a try. Teachers, parents, students and school administrators are planning their outings; there’s a “rolling school bus” lined up. There’s a flyer and PSAs being worked on through local media. Oh WOW! I’ll keep you posted.
