Two more great events

First up is Commuter Choices Week, October 1-5, an annual event sponsored by Bay Area Commuter Services. It is designed as a fun way to remind the public of the various options of commuting to and from work other than driving alone. These options include carpooling, vanpooling, transit, biking, walking, teleworking and alternative work programs. Even if you only use alternative transportation for your commute one day a week, you'll be doing the environment and yourself a favor. If you've ever wanted to try riding your bike to work, this is the week to do it.

Next up is the 2nd annual Bicycle Bash By The Bay, November 4 at Vinoy Park in St. Pete. SWFBUD is putting together a full day of activities to celebrate cycling in Tampa Bay. Take part in a swap meet, mountain and bike camping demos, a bicycle donation station, bike stunts, free bicycle gear and bike rides to and from the event. Non-profit cycling advocacy groups are encouraged to attend and take advantage of free exhibition space. This year food, drink and retail vendors are also invited to attend. Of course, Spoke 'N' Word will be there too, signing autographs (but probably only on my credit card receipts as I do some shopping). John Sinibaldi Jr., son of cycling legend John Sinibaldi and accomplished cyclist in his own right, will be the emcee. If you are a food and drink vendors as well as vendors who sell any goods, services or items used by cyclists and you'd like to put together a display or booth, contact Alan Snel. I'll post more info as the date nears.

UPDATE: Alan asked I pass along the flier and poster for the Bicycle Bash. Print and share.
