Bike to Work - Free Java and Pancakes

May is National Bike Month, May 11-15 is National Bike to Work Week and this Friday (May 15) is National Bike to Work Day.  Biking to work and school promotes a lifestyle that is more conducive to our environment.  It also promotes a lifestyle that is healthier for you.  Biking to work and school is also a lifestyle that benefits your pocket.  Foot power is relatively free compared to fossil fuel.
 
National Bike to Work Day is being celebrated and supported by many in Reno this year.  Several local businesses are offering a free cup of java to those who stop by and show their helmet as they bike to work or school this Friday.  The Reno Bike Project Shop will be serving a pancake breakfast with coffee on Friday to give you lots of energy for your commute.  Pancakes will be served starting at 7 a.m
 
The Bicycle Commuter Challenge is offering a raffle prize of $500 to some lucky biker that may be used to towards purchasing a new bike or bike accessories.  You will need to hurry to register.  The raffle is only a few days away.
 
If it has been a while since you have ridden your bike, be sure to do a safety check before participating in the Bike To Work Day on Friday.  You will also want to check out your route for safety precautions and commute time.
