Get your cards in your spokes, kids, because this Friday is National Bike-to-Work Day! It’s easier than you think! This year’s event has more breakfast events and meetups/biking groups. If you live out Mascoma way, you may already use the rail-trail to get to Lebanon — it’s a safe and direct route. I hope we can start eliminating the hundreds of single-passenger cars we see on a daily basis and replace a portion of them with bikes.

For more information, visit www.bike2work-day.com/ and saddle up!

How about you? Are you biking to work on Friday? Do you regularly bike to work?

PS if you are driving on Friday morning/afternoon, be aware of bikes and share the road!

Some of you may be here on the uvScene for the first time today after you read Jim Kenyon’s column in Wednesday’s Valley News. He talked about the Upper Valley Rideshare and the community car that’s been kicking around WRJ, based at the Main Street Museum. If you’d like more information about the car, please email uvcarshare@yahoo.com and they can set you up with more info.

Hopefully there will be a webpage set up soon with all the info you need about the carshare.

(and if you’re new here, welcome! take a look around, hop into the threads over at uvmeet.com and feel free to join in the fun!)
