This week's Bike to Work Week! In case you're just hearing about the eco-commuting celebrations now, don't feel left out. Take a glass-half-full attitude and bike to work the rest of this week! And get inspired to green your commute all year long:
>> For bicycling inspiration, read profiles from the Yes! Bikes to Work [1] series, which features the magazine’s staff and their bicycling habits. So far, the executive and senior editors have revealed their eco-commuting tricks; check back all May for more inspiring green travel talk.
>> Stay on time by avoiding traffic via your two-wheeled ride — and by keeping an eye on a Recycled Bike Clock [2]. Made by 1byLiz on Etsy, these $40 clocks are a combo of recycled bike chain rings and reclaimed textiles.
>> Bicycling fun doesn’t end with bike week — Get ready for the Urban Assault Ride [3]! Sarah van Schagen at Grist says “this bike-based scavenger hunt will send you all over the city in a race to complete a series of obstacle courses.” The assaults begin in Seattle this weekend, then move to cities across the U.S. all summer and the beginning of fall.
