Kick Gas: Bike to Work Week
I am taking some days away from Simmons, but I couldn't miss Bike to Work week, so I rode in yesterday for the MASCO-sponsored breakfast. There were a couple of REI "wrenches" (mechanics) doing free tune-ups, coffee, bagels, and, of course, The T-Shirt.
I'd seen the design for the t-shirt in advance, and couldn't be without my 3rd bike to work week t-shirt. Nevermind that I've been to more bike to work breakfasts than that (usually after they'd run out of t-shirts) and that I have more t-shirts than I know what to do with. I mean, look at this!
There are some good things happening with biking around the Boston area. Check out a new bike coach on one of the commuter rail lines (below the gross crime story). The number of people and amount of energy at the MASCO breakfast was much greater than it's been in the past. As I pull into Fenway area, I see more and more bikers than I used to.
As the price of gas soars, let's hope that people really do try to Kick Gas, by biking and using public transportation.
