Winter Bike to Work Day is next Wednesday

 

The date for Winter Bike to Work Day 2010 is Jan. 20.

Somehow it crept up on me, but I have to get a quick post out — Winter Bike to Work Day is coming right up, and there are Community Cycles winter biking workshops today to help you get prepared.

We’ve also got a small repository of winter biking tips here on the site.

Are you participating? Let us know. We’d love to run your photos.

Winter biking is something that Boulder can really take pride in. Check this out, from the city’s Winter Bike to Work Day site:

One thing you can be sure of, your commute will be safe and convenient because even if it has snowed the City of Boulder keeps its 60 miles of paved multi-use pathways and 76 underpasses plowed so that cyclists can easily use them even during severe snowstorms. The city begins plowing as soon as an inch of snow accumulates and at exactly the same time that crews are plowing the streets! In fact many cyclists report that biking is faster than driving, especially in slow winter traffic!
