Bike to Work Day
Jane Marsh, who was handing out free bike helmets from Craig's Hospital, helps Ruby Marsh try on her new helmet. Hundreds of bikers stopped by the REI breakfast station on their bike to work.

My husband and I participated in our first Bike to Work Day yesterday. He sent the following e-mail to the team he manages when we completed the ride.
-- Kerrie Trovinger, Rocky reader
TEAM & Friends:
I shared a little biking story with you in our team meeting last week when I mentioned my insecurities of having pedestrians pass me by while getting reacquainted with my mountain bike a while back. :) I thought you might find some amusement in my experience this morning biking to work.
Our older two boys are at camp this week and Zeb went to grandma's house to spend the night last evening and hang out with his grandparents today. So, my bright idea was to ride to work with my wife. You know, to go green. I bought Kerrie a road bike about three years ago. She has ridden it about once per year. She prefers to run everywhere she goes. That's ok, I thought, I knew this morning would be a long grueling ride for a couple of novices but I could coach her a bit.
I beat Kerrie on all the downhills. There were three of them. As it turns out, Ken Caryl to the Meridian is basically uphill the whole $#?* way! It has never seemed to matter as I drove by those little chain driven two wheelers in my car, with the window down, the tunes cranked up, and chewing on a half opened packet of Ding Dongs with a refreshing cherry Pepsi to wash them down.
This morning, my wife perfected the "ON YOUR LEFT" call to the bikers in front of her who she was passing. Every time we had to stop for a change in the trail or at a street the path was crossing, I hurried up and got out front. Problem was, the ON YOUR LEFT came with a giggle each time she passed me…multiple times…every time!
At one point, I told her I had to rest at about the 3/4 mark. I asked her where all the stands were that vendors were suppose to have setup with bagels and juice and stuff that she had promised me. She told me we had passed two but my head was down the whole time watching my legs pedal. Geez. I'm dying here.
So, two hours and 20 some miles after we began, we finished off the ride at her work. She smiled, told me she loved me and thanked me for the ride. She, all perky like, grabbed her bag and went on into work leaving me sitting on the bumper of the suburban, panting, wondering how I was going to find the strength to put the bikes on the rack. Was that 'going green' or turning green?
I waited an hour and then called Kerrie to reminisce and share our accomplishment together some more. You know, bask in the glory. Instead, she was wondering if she might go for a run over lunch so she could get a workout. She said she enjoyed it but if she is going to spend two hours exercising, why not run and break a sweat? You know me. I took it with a grain of salt. Actually, that would be my last grain of salt!
Enjoy your day!

The rumors of large crowds for 2008 Back to Work Day weren’t at all exaggerated.
“We had 24,579 people registered as of 10:30 this morning,” said Linda Dowlen, who heads the ride-arrangers program for the Denver Regional Council of Governments.
That’s a 60 percent increase over last year’s previous record.
And considering that a lot of people don’t register, there were probably some 32,000 people on bicycles this morning pedaling to work, Dowlen said.
People were drawn by the promise of sweet rolls, fruit and bagels, free prizes such as bike helmets, the chance to bicycle with co-workers, the chance to burn calories and the prospect of saving a few dollars on gas.
“It’s been great, we’ve had fabulous weather and a really good turnout,” Dowlen added.
The food supply held out at most of the breakfast stations, and so did the tempers of people a little annoyed at road-courtesy faux pas on the crowded bike lanes.
Now, for the ride home. While some people are opting for RTD, most are priming for the round-trip pedal.
If they’re lucky and wise, they’ve taken a shower at work and have aired out those bike clothes for an odor-free return trip.
Chances of afternoon thunderstorms remain at about 10 percent.

On the eve of Bike to Work Day, Aspen Mayor Mick Ireland’s bike was stolen from in front of City Hall during a council meeting last night, the Aspen Daily News reported.
A dejected-looking Ireland came in to the Daily News offices after the meeting, asking if the theft was a prank perpetrated by reporters. He had no such luck.

All in all, a great Bike to Work Day.
The weather was sublime, just about everybody was in a good mood and the only one I met who wasn’t had a good point.
“I’m rattled,” Christine Halaska said. “It’s great that everybody is out bicycling, but I almost got clipped three times.” She said the people who only get out a few times a year need to learn the rules of the road, and especially remember them on a day when the bike traffic is five or 10 times normal.
Those rules should include not suddenly stopping without warning and making sure you give plenty of room when passing.
Gas prices are on everyone’s mind, but so is the opportunity to get fit.
The mantra of the day was that it was fun, easier than expected, and something to do more often. The availability of showers at the workplace remains a concern for the hygiene-minded.
Most impressive commuter of the day was the unicyclist going a good 10 or 12 miles an hour on his 10-mile trip to work.
Just about everybody said they’ll bicycle back home this afternoon, although a few had RTD bus schedules in their backpacks.
--Bill Scanlon
9:05 a.m.
I didn’t realize I owned a gas hog (aka a 1997 Ford Explorer) until gas hit $4 a gallon. You want how much to fill up then tank?!? So I’ve been taking the bus from my home in Aurora to downtown once or twice a week, or at least when I don’t have to pick up any kids at baseball practice or something else on the way home. Today was the first time I rode my bike to work. It was great. I rode about 15 miles – most of it on the Cherry Creek trail. Would I do it again? I think so, but I’ve got to figure out a better way to carry everything on the bike. Today, for example, I chose to bring a towel to shower with at the office instead of a lunch because everything wouldn’t fit into my backpack. So it’s lunch out today, or perhaps I’ll munch instead on all the free stuff I picked up at Civic Center park.
--Eric Brown
9 a.m.
Bill Scanlon is in the building. He's changing out of the Lycra and will rejoin us shortly. Being in shape, like Bill, has its advantages. I'm more tired than he is, and I drove!
--John Boogert
8:33 a.m.
"Can I get across the bridge?" asked Kareen Erbe, who was leading a group of teens going downtown to volunteer on Bike To Work Day.
The group and other bicyclists were caught off guard and detoured by police tape near 16th Street and the South Platte River, where a body was found shortly before 7:30 this morning.
--Alan Gathright
8:29 a.m.
Trevor and Fiona Allen are from Australia, but didn't bike all the way here from there.
"We've done about 17 miles this morning," Trevor said.
They stopped with dozens of others at the downtown REI breakfast station, filling up on Danish and Vitamin Water, plastered with free stickers from bicycle activists and political campaigners.
"It's safer bicycling here than in Australia," Fiona said. "In Australia there's quite a bit of animosity between bicyclists and drivers. But here, it's a lot friendlier."
The couple is from Canberra, just south of Sydney.
--Bill Scanlon
8:12 a.m.
The breakfast stations are so close now we can almost smell them.
Greg Van rode in from Golden.
"I ride in about twice a week. There's a great bike path most of the way. It's a great way to get exercise, which is hard to get when you have two kids," he said.
He had been riding his bike about once a week until recently when he increased that to twice a week.
"It's not so much the gas prices, but just doing what I can to save on oil," Van said. "It's the principle of the thing."
--Bill Scanlon
7:51 a.m.
Dale Willman, of Broomfield, is riding 20 miles to downtown Denver, much of it on Lowell Boulevard.
"I used to ride 3,000 miles a year," Willman said. "But I've only ridden 300 miles in the last three years."
But he's getting back into shape and he hopes to ride to work a lot more often.
"I'm doing it to get into shape and also for the gas prices, probably more for the fitness."
Dale has a Trek Madone bicycle, with a cat-eye odometer clocking his speed and his mileage.
"It couldn't be a better morning," he said.
He's still looking for his first breakfast station.
--Bill Scanlon
7:31 a.m.
Eric Knopinski, a Westminster police officer, is on his bike as usual this morning.
"I've seen a lot of people with maps this morning," Knopinski said. "I've been helping them with directions."
Knopinski got on bike duty 15 years ago and says he loves it.
"My goal is 40 miles a day," he said. "I've done about 4,000 miles this year."
He says not on his bike about one or two days in the winter, because of weather.
So, there will be no whining from cyclists if the sun gets too hot or if it rains a little bit today.
--Bill Scanlon
7:15 a.m.
Civic Center is filling up. The line for free stuff is about 150 people deep.
The radio DJ just announced that the mayor and governor will be here.
--Eric Brown
7:08 a.m.
"This is the first time I've ridden my bike to work, and I could kick myself," said Becky Spence, of Denver, riding 16 miles to work in Westminster. "This isn't a bad ride at all."
Spence and her friend, Marty Huntington, were enjoying the ride so much that they vowed to do it many more times.
Huntington said she rides her bike twice a week, but never to work.
Gas at $4 a gallon "makes a big difference to me. I have an SUV," Huntington said.
We met on Lowell Boulevard.
From 104th Avenue to 23rd Avenue; 81 blocks through the heart of metro Denver.
A great bike lane, rolling hills, it reminds me of the bike ride through Iowa, without the corn on the left and the beans on the right.
Still no breakfast stations in sight. Regis University is the goal. Will the undergraduates be cheering, like the Wellesley girls do at the midpoint of the Boston Marathon? Doubtful.
--Bill Scanlon
6:54 a.m.
City editor Eric Brown reports his arrival at Civic Center. That's across the street from the Bike Rack here at 101 W. Colfax. Eric has stopped at at least two breakfast sites on his way in from Aurora, and he's at least an hour ahead of his normal arrival time. No doubt there's food across the street. If you're hungry, check out the links to all the breakfast stops. If you drove in, just breathe hard (like our staffers have been doing when calling in) and they'll probably serve you.
--John Boogert
6:40 a.m.
It's just another day for Tim Breese, of Northglenn.
"I've been riding my bike to work every day for three years," Breese said on his way north on Old Wadsworth Boulevard in Broomfield.
Well, not in the middle of the winter.
Breese said he started bicycling every day for exercise, "But now, with the gas prices it sure makes it easier on the wallet."
--Bill Scanlon
6:22 a.m.
Suddenly, I feel like a wimp. I saw a guy ahead of me on a hill and I said, “I can take this guy.”
It took longer than I thought, but I finally reached him at the crest of the hill.
He was on a unicycle!
“I like to try out new skills,” Jeff Lutkus, of Superior, said.
He’s riding 10 miles to work in Westminster on his oversize wheel.
“My record for one day is 70 miles, on the Erie Canal in upstate New York.”
Oops, there he is again passing me. Have fun, Jeff.
--Bill Scanlon
6:15 a.m.
Oh, what a beautiful morning. The red-winged blackbirds are flittering in the cottonwoods, and the magpies are feasting on roadkill.
But where are the breakfast stations?
There are more than 100 throughout the metro area this morning, but I'm taking a back-prairie shortcut and haven't found one yet.
With apologies to The Fray, sometimes the quickest way and the hungriest way are the same.
The roadkill isn't looking tempting yet. I turn east toward the sun.
--Bill Scanlon
5:58 a.m.
There's still a bit of chill and darkness in the air. The mad gardeners in Louisville are already up tending up to their roses and periwinkle.
Shane Wooley crosses by on his mountain bike, heading for his job in Boulder. "We try to do this more than just on Bike to Work Day," Wooley said. "The gas prices definitely have made a difference for me."
Turning south, toward Denver, the lonely road beckons.
--Bill Scanlon
5:57 a.m.
City editor Eric Brown has fired in a photo of his bike and backpack, ready for the ride in from the Peoria Park neighborhood in Aurora. I'm starting to feel left out here.
--John Boogert
5 a.m.
Welcome to Bike to Work Day. I drove. But somebody's gotta do it. Within 10 minutes of leaving my house in south Jeffco about 4:30 this morning, I'd already seen three bicyclists. Two were cruising south on the bike path along Kipling Parkway. The third was struggling uphill between Morrison Road and Jewell. That must be the work part of Bike to Work Day.
Why didn't I ride? Well I would have had to start sometime last Friday, and we had a dog blog going that day. And I'm not certain my '70s Motobecane is up to the task. Or maybe something else wasn't up to the task. (The thought of me in Lycra would no doubt stop traffic -- on the roads and on the Rocky Web site.)
In any event, I'm stationed at the Bike Rack at 101 W. Colfax, eager to post the dispatches from my various colleagues in the field. We'll send along stories and photos from Rocky staffers riding in from Louisville (the Colorado version), Brighton, Aurora, Littleton and more.
Plus, we'd love to hear from all of you who made, or are making the trek into work today. BTW, it's free.
Be safe.

one of the few days I DIDN'T ride to work. Got out about 430-445 am and was passed twice by wrong way cyclists with no lights weaving a bit. Turned around and went home to fetch the car. Considering my 20RT commute, I'd rather miss today than get taken out by someone doing a once a year run.
I'll take a pass on bike to work this year. I'll be back out tomorrow...
Have fun and be safe.

Just got to work and already saw two near-misses along the way. If cars are in a turn at a light signal and obviously have the right of way, PLEASE stop and wait if riding a bike because the visibility is limited for those in a turn that may be behind the first car and usually end up in a fender bender.

Well, isn't this just special? A nice big, feel good event that probably reduced metro area fuel consumption by .001% for one day, and the governor is out speechifying in spandex bike shorts about how we are all making a difference. I suppose the State employees get to stand outside and earn their pay listening to him congratulate everyone instead of doing their jobs. Meanwhile fuel prices and demand trends that actually matter continue unabated.
People who were inclined to ride their bikes to work have been doing so anyway. People who were not inclined to do so aren't going to change their habits just because of a symbolic day. How about working on real policy solutions that actually make a difference and benefit people, instead of a bunch of feel-good, back-patting, give-yourself-a-hug symbolism?

Well in any case this needs to be done by more than just a 100 or so people and for more than just one day. Otherwise all we're really doing is creating warm fuzzies, doing it for the ego trip amongst our small circle of influence, or participating to be PC which is complete B$.
All of which to me is just plain hogwash.

davies: It isn't just symbolism. Like the Bolder Boulder it promotes physical fitness (in this case cycling rather than jogging). Each year more and more people participate and I think the trend will continue.
I'd definitely rather have an annual event like this rather than live in a city where it wouldn't even be possible (like Houston).
Holly: It shouldn't take your husband that long to get to work. That should only be a 13-20 mile ride which even if he only averaged 10 miles an hour shouldn't take longer than 2 hours. I've never ridden in that part of town though so don't know how easy it is to keep your speed up around there. (5-6 hours would be a walking pace)

Fatso?! Ha! What nothing to refute my comments about this being simply for the warm fuzzies, an ego trip, or to feel PC? Nothing so you had to resort to unconfirmed name-calling also known as ad hominem, a logical fallacy?
Just for your info, I’m 5'9" weigh in at 175, run 5 miles in 30 min have studied Tae Kwon Do, Ninjitsu, and Wing Chun. I could probably out run you then kick your a$$ afterwords. I haven’t cycled in many years because of the time requirement. But it was not uncommon for me to hop on my bike and cycle for 100 or so miles on any given day.
I suggest you provide some solid arguments instead of resorting to grade school name calling.

joggle: Thanks for a thoughtful reply. I see the Bolder Boulder as a purely recreational event that (like you said) promotes physical fitness. It does not pretend to be a solution to other serious problems.
The governor giving a speech in spandex bike shorts, promoting Ride Your Bike to Work day for one day of the year, is meaningless feel-good grandstanding. How about encouraging actual meaningful change by say, establishing more routes with dedicated bike lanes, or at least encouraging employers to provide more bike racks or a more lenient dress code for bike riding employees?
Maybe I am too grumpy though. If it's being touted as a solution to a problem, it's a crock. If it was intended mostly just for one day of fun and camaraderie, I can understand that.
Others who were more critical of my previous 'bah humbug' post do not know that I already have made many personal lifestyle choices to benefit my fitness, save energy and reduce pollution. Haven't run the Bolder Boulder, though; the Spring Runoff in Pueblo is a big enough event for me.

I'm always a kid at heart. It's obvious to me you don't put a lot of stock in the martial arts, the study of different cultures, the study of logic, nor probably the study of much else for that matter.
Now I admit I could be wrong since I really don't know you. But from some of your comments on the RMN forums I don't think you and I would have a lot in common. (This is my way of being nice in saying: I'm more than likely more mature and more intelligent than you could ever hope to become and that you would probably miss any type of intended sarcasm.)

As a youngster growing up in East Denver in the early 60s my friend and I used to ride our one-speed bikes all over Denver. We wore Keds/Converse sneakers, a t-shirt and baseball cap, and cut-off jeans.
It was not unusual for us to cover the entire city from Montclair to Mullen to Fort Logan to Regis without the "benefit" of expensive multi-speed bikes, trendy Spandex, cute riding shoes, space helmets or posh team logos.
One of our fondest memories was riding to Denver's Oldest Bar (on Larimer, I think) and prop our bikes up against the back wall, stand on the seats of the bikes and watch the strippers though the exhaust vents.
And the absolutely amazing thing about all of this is we didn't carry plastic bottles of water as they wern't invented yet. We simply got a drink before we left the house.

Nah just a mild mannered '92 jeep the passes emissions when I drive by one of those roadside emissions testing vehicles. Got a notice the other day that said I won't have to take my vehicle in for emissions come registration. Thinking about downsizing due to gas prices, possibly an older Subaru. I live up in the mountains and need a 4 wheel drive and don’t like the newer AWDs.
