After reviewing the weather report that predicts some stiff winds in addition to 100% chance of rain,\u00a0and considering the combination of wind\u00a0with a\u00a0welding bike art sculptor\u00a0and pop-up canopies, the sponsoring organizations for the Seattle\u00a0Bike Love Party\u00a0<\/strong>decided we were better off postponing it since we didn’t want to add a fire display.<\/p>\n

\"Cards

Cards with statistics about the value of biking customers that you can leave at businesses you patronize by bike are available from Cascade Bicycle Club or WA Bikes. Spread the word: Bikes mean business!<\/p><\/div>\n

April 2 makes a great date for a bike event as\u00a0the second day of\u00a030 Days of Biking. I may not undertake another personal bike blogging\u00a0ride to\u00a0insanity by writing a\u00a0blog post every day in April<\/a>, but we’ll encourage you through social media.<\/p>\n

We’ll also give you some of our fun “I arrived by bike” business cards to leave behind. (Want those right now? Request them on our e-news sign-up form<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

With the social media response we’ve seen to these fun informal challenges like 30 Days, #coffeeneuring<\/a>, and right now\u00a0Winter Bike to Work Day<\/a>, we know we’ll have a great response to April 2.<\/p>\n

Mark your calendar and get ready to start 30 Days of Biking April 1. If you’re in the Seattle area plan to come to Pioneer Square for a great bike party.<\/p>\n

All the partners we had for Feb. 5\u00a0are committed for April 2: Zipcar Seattle<\/a>,\u00a0Pronto Cycle Share<\/a>,\u00a0Back Alley Bike Repair<\/a>,\u00a0Hilliard\u2019s Beer<\/a>,\u00a0International Sustainability Institute<\/a>\u00a0& Alley Network Project,\u00a0and Washington Bikes.<\/p>\n

And while we’re talking about bike parties here’s your early heads-up for\u00a0First Thursday May 7:<\/strong> Washington Bikes will hold a Bike Happy Hour as one of the four that\u00a0Cascade Bicycle Club promotes during National Bicycle Month.<\/p>\n
