Hopefully you have signed the People for Bikes pledge (http://www.peopleforbikes.org). The next step is to send a short email to your Representative asking him of her to support ongoing funding for bike projects and programs such as Safe Routes to School. People for Bikes makes it easy to do...more here:

Here in the Tampa Bay Area, roads are very dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists alike. I speak up often for safer roads and always appreciate others doing the same.

Thanks for the link, Scott. I was not familiar with Alan's blog, but I just added it to my feed reader. Looks like great advocacy focused content.

The Pedal Savvy bike fashion show (http://pedalsavvy.com/) is coming up soon as part of the SF Bike Expo. It sounds like fun. Are any of you west coasters planning to attend?

Lately I've been thinking about riding my bike to work. I found a great trail that would take me right into downtown Madison and would only take me about 45 minutes. I'd love to start every day off with a nice bike ride. The only thing that I don't think I would like is working in sweaty clothes all day. Do you blend exercise into your workday? Any tips for me?

I ride to work about 3 days a week on average. My commute is only about 7 miles, so sometimes I take a longer route home to get a little more exercise in the afternoon. I keep shoes and belts in a drawer at my office, so I don't need to carry those heavy items every time I ride in (I also keep extra socks and underwear in case I forget). In the morning, I ride with just my clothes for the day and my lunch in a trunk pack on my rear rack…not a very heavy load. I am lucky to have facilities to shower and change at work, but I have worked other places where I had to just clean up in the sink. That’s doable once you get used to it.
I have been bike commuting for a long time, and I have found that the key is organization. Once it becomes a routine, it is pretty easy, but getting into the swing of it takes a little planning.

Saves money, allows you to exercise without taking a chunk out of your day, peps you up in the morning, what's not to like?
I started riding to work recently and am now fully converted!

As far as going home is concerned, it's an absolute pleasure to get on your bike at the end of the day, and not have to wait for a bus/train and/or get stuck in traffic. Embrace the bike and thrive my friend!

On the subject of bikes and fashion, I want to pass this along for any of you who are in the UK. Love Your Bike Portsmouth takes place this weekend and it looks like a fun event:

Great idea for a group. I hope to see more discussion.
What are you all doing in your local communities to encourage cycling and bike commuting during National Bike Month?

What's city cycling like in Athens? See bicycle fashion or cycle chic? Bicycle tourism? I would love to visit Greece!
I'm researching bicycle style in Santa Barbara, California. See my blog for more info: http://www.bikebythesea.com.
