Marin Bike Coalition Gets Amped for Bike Month
Bike to Work Day and a month-long Team Bike Challenge are part of National Bike Month to "celebrate the unique power of the bicycle and the many reasons we ride."
A quick glance at the hundreds of cyclists on the , the trails of or the roads of West Marin any day of the week reveals that every month is bike month in Marin.
But when National Bike Month comes around each May, the Marin County Bicycle Coalition makes sure that those who haven't yet taken to the power of the pedal have plenty of reasons to do so.
The coalition has unveiled plans for 17 "Energizer Stations" for the Bay Area's 18thAnnual Bike to Work Day on May 10, with volunteers setting up along much-used bike commute routes to dole out free snacks, giveaways and encouragement. See the map of all 17 station attached at right.
