Every day is a great day to be a cyclists but this Friday is National Bike to Work Day and the City of Eugene, the Business Commute Challenge, GEARs, and BikeLane will be celebrating throughout the day.

To kick it off there  will be free coffee from 7 AM to 6 PM at Gary’s Coffee (525 High) and Eugene Coffee Company (18th and Chambers) and Campbell Center for cyclists with a bike, helmet and reusable cup. Sponsorship for the free coffee is provided by participating coffee shops, GreenLane Sustainable Business Network and BikeLane.

Also, that morning from 7-9 you can get coffee from Rally Coffee Roasters and waffles from Off the Waffle at the DeFazio Bridge as part of the Business Commute Challenge- make sure you’re registered at commutechallenge.org

At the end of the day, cyclists can meet at Adam’s Sustainable Table (30 E. Broadway) from 5-7 for more food and fun. Ninkasi, Bikelane, Bikestation and Adam’s Sustainable Table are sponsors. Cyclists must have ridden that day to offset the CO2 produced
making beer. There will be entertainment, contests for road humor, and prizes. For more info on that event see www.bikelanecoalition.org

Sure everyday could be Bike to Work Day but why not celebrate for those who it is and bring more on board by showing them what a great time it can be when we get together and celebrate!
