I remembered just in time that it’s Bike to Work day again. In the past I’ve made something out of it at work through my participation in our “green team.” This year, with my Oregon trip and my mom’s passing I just didn’t have a chance to think about it at all.
And, I’ll have to admit, after biking the Oregon coast and bits and pieces of Portland and the Bay Area I was okay with a wee bit of time off my bike. I’ve had a hip injury for the past couple of months and, while it doesn’t really hurt when I ride, I’ve tried to rest it when I can.
Still today I hopped on my bike and made it work. Felt fine. Glad I did it. Why wasn’t I riding all week? Don’t know.
Anyway, here’s what’s left of the Honolulu Bike to Work schedule for the week…
May 18 | Bike 2 Work
Thomas Square 6-8am, 4-6pm The Bike Shop snacks & bike adjustments
May 19 | Ride of Silence
State Capitol at 4 p.m
May 20 | Bike to the Zoo
Honolulu Zoo 9am-2pm
Did I mention I bought a new bike? Nope?
While I was in the Bay Area I had to visit Rivendell Bicycle Works, where I finally got to meet Grant Petersen in person, and…yep…purchased a Hunqapillar. It won’t be here till July so I’m not going to write too much about it now, but I’m certainly looking forward to a regular bike that isn’t a single-speed. I’m not giving up my single-speeds mind you, but there are times when I like being able to shift.
It’s going to look more or less like this…
But that isn’t really the point of this note. Grant did an NPR interview for Bike to Work day which you can find through this link.
