April is Earth Month and April 22 marks the 45<\/span>th<\/sup> anniversary of Earth Day<\/a>. Riding your bike is a great way to honor and celebrate our planet. Here\u2019s a sampling of some bike-related Earth Day and Earth Month activities:<\/span><\/p>\n

April 18<\/strong> \u2013 Earth Day Market Ride in Olympia. Organized by the Thurston County Bicycle Commuter Contest crew, this ride has multiple start points. Find one near you and join others for a bike ride to the Olympia Farmers Market. More details can be found on the BCC blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

April 20<\/strong> \u2013 Join Washington Bikes for Earth Week at the Latona Pub<\/a> in Seattle. We\u2019ll be on hand to share the bike love and hoist a pint of Hales beer. A portion of the proceeds will benefit our work to grow bicycling.<\/p>\n

April 22<\/strong> \u2013 Commuter Bike Train: Geographical Tour of Tacoma<\/a>. Learn about the earth on this bike ride. Although not billed as an Earth Day event, this bike ride will offer Tacoma cyclists a peek at the city’s geology and geography.<\/p>\n

April 22<\/strong> \u2013 Celebrate Earth Day with a bike ride at your favorite Washington State Park! Entrance to state parks will be free on Earth Day.<\/p>\n
