We use an RSS feed so that Twitter account picks up blog posts as they&#8217;re published and send them to our Twitter followers.<\/p>\n<p>We thought it might be interesting to look at one week&#8217;s worth of blogging around the state as a snapshot of our diversity in topics, types of riding, weather, politics, and everything else that makes this state a big, wonderful place to ride your bike.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the fun part&#8211;On our list we&#8217;ve grouped the blogs by geography. Here they&#8217;re in alphabetical order so you get a view across the state if you just browse on down the alphabet. If you&#8217;re used to reading about bicycling only in your own corner of the state, here&#8217;s your chance to mix it up a bit.<\/p>\n<p>And if you know of a bike blog in Washington state that isn&#8217;t on <a title=\"Bike Blogs in Washington State\" href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/growing-bicycling\/resources\/bike-blogs-in-washington-state\/\" target=\"_blank\">the list<\/a>, tell us!

She serves both organizations as Chief Strategic Officer. Her bike advocacy work started in Spokane thanks to WA Bikes (then called the Bicycle Alliance of Washington), which served as the initial inspiration and fiscal home for Bike to Work Spokane, founded by Barb in late 2007. She has served on a variety of boards and committees in transportation, public policy, and health, and directed external relations at WSU Spokane for 14-1\/2 years before coming to WA Bikes. She served 4 years in the Idaho state legislature, the youngest woman ever elected to the House and then the Senate. Barb's personal bike blog can be found at bikestylespokane.com and she created the worldwide list womenbikeblogs.com (@womenbikeblogs on Twitter). Bikes: - \\\"Sweetie\\\": A Specialized Dolce from Wheel Sport Central in Spokane, which her husband Eric Abbott gave her when they were first dating. - The \\\"Mary Poppins\\\" bike: A Specialized Globe Daily 2 she likes for its upright posture and step-through design, purchased from Gregg's Cycle in Greenlake and modified by Bothell Ski and Bike to have a triple crank for Seattle hills. - \\\"Tessa\\\" (short for Tessaract): A Giant Expressway 2 folding bike she purchased at the WA Bikes Annual Gala\/auction.

She serves both organizations as Chief Strategic Officer. Her bike advocacy work started in Spokane thanks to WA Bikes (then called the Bicycle Alliance of Washington), which served as the initial inspiration and fiscal home for Bike to Work Spokane, founded by Barb in late 2007. She has served on a variety of boards and committees in transportation, public policy, and health, and directed external relations at WSU Spokane for 14-1\/2 years before coming to WA Bikes. She served 4 years in the Idaho state legislature, the youngest woman ever elected to the House and then the Senate.
