Just a quick shout about National Bike to Work Day tomorrow, May 21. Believe it or not, you don’t need a special bike to ride to work – a mountain bike will work great for most commutes!

Along the same lines, I’m proposing National Bike to the Trails Weekend this Saturday and Sunday. Pick a trail close to your house or find a way to ride to your favorite singletrack. Heck, biking to the trails should be even easier than biking to work – no one cares if you’re stinky and sweaty when you show up!
