Bikes in the workplace and other stuff.....

I read an interesting article called "It's Time To Recycle Cycling" by Neal R. Pierce in the Washington Post of December 18, 2009 about the new interest in cycling among people like

Ray LaHood, Secretary of Transportation. Found out there is a Congressional Bike Caucus and the co-chair is a legislator from Oregon, Rep. Earl Blumenaur. Check out the article. This is good news because the upcoming reauthorization of the transportation bill may contain more funds for bicycle lanes etc..

While on a tour of the Tesoro Refinery in Kapolei, Oahu, on Tuesday, I noted the workers going from station to station on their bicycles. What a great way to get exercise and save energy at the same time. Using bikes in the workplace is not a new idea, but I think it is gleaning more serious consideration from the powers that be.

Beautiful day here and great for riding my bike. The road is dry, it is sunny and just a little cool. To all, a very Happy Holiday Season. May Peace , Joy and safe bicycling fill your New Year.

Aloha, Marilyn
