Just a reminder that this week is National Bike to Work week, and also the start of our very own Bike to Work season, sponsored by INCOG, Tom's Cycles, Soundpony Lounge, and Doubleshot Coffee.

This Friday, May 16th from 7-9 AM, on National Bike to Work Day, commuters are encouraged to ride to work, and if it is convenient, to attend INCOG's Bike to Work Kick-Off.  New and experienced commuters traveling by bike are encouraged to stop by on their way to work for coffee and snacks, provided by Doubleshot Coffee Company, and meet other bike commuters at Maple Park near 15th between Madison and Cincinnati (404 E 15th, Tulsa,) on the newly extended Midland Valley Trail.  Tom's Bicycles will also be providing a free safety check for bicycles during the event.  Of course, we will discuss our "incentives" (aka "prizes") to be given away to our top commuters. This year, we will not only award the most miles ridden, but also the most days and consecutive days ridden. This will be the first of several events throughout Bike to Work Season, which is from May through September.

Also take a look at our new online Commute Tracker and Calendar, which allows you to track daily commutes using an interactive calendar which automatically logs your miles ridden and or shared, and also allows you to see exactly how much money you've save, how much less fuel you've used, and how much less NOX emissions released by riding or carpooling to work. Check out www.green-traveler.org for details...just follow the "bike2work" tab at the top.

Check back throughout the season for more updates!

If you're lucky you'll get to catch the famous Transportation Planner Patrick Fox there.  He's a cool guy!

He's a dork.

[AVERAGE JOE]

I thought his first name was "Biker," not "Patrick". Maybe Patrick is his given name?? []

Patrick Fox....Biker Fox....hmmmmm.

You never see the two of them at the same time.  I wonder if.....

Naah.  Patrick is an uber-bike geek.  I should know.  He was in one of our Road1 classes.  Biker Fox is just a geek.

But come to think of it....you never see him and Paul Tay at the same time.  I wonder if....

(And Patrick...my apologies but I can't attend BTW tomorrow 'cause I have to go to work!)

[PonderInc]

Nope.  I've seen all three at a single community meeting!  (Unless two of them were wearing disguises....)

Here is biker fox...errr...I mean Patrick Fox himself..."generally"

Nice video, Patrick, congratulations!  

I met 2 guys in Owasso who were riding downtown today for BTW.  One was a noob.  He was pedaling slowly in a big gear.  If he rode downtown and back that way it's unlikely he'll try it again.

I hope you had a great day.  I did!
