This morning I biked to Common Roots Cafe, a local organic restaurant that focuses on local ingredients. I'd been hearing all sorts of great things about their bagels, and wow, they did not disappoint! Common Roots was one of many places around town providing free breakfast today to anyone who biked or walked to work. So I met a friend there and enjoyed a bagel and some Peace Coffee. Then I picked up 2 dozen bagels for my company's own version of Bike to Work Day.
I can't say enough great things about where I work. One of the things that I like the best is the commitment of so many people here to reducing their carbon footprint. A big part of that is biking to work, and there are about 30 folks that bike at least occasionally, out of 300. This morning, we had at least 18 (and most of our regular bikers were out of the office this week)! People had to chain bikes to signposts all over the building! Anyway, the bagels were a hit, and good times were had by all. Another successful Barr Biking & Bagels Day.

Glad you got to enjoy some of the festivities. I couldn't get my flat fixed to actually bike on Weds and take advantage of all the free food. But its fixed now! What beautiful weather for it too!
I totally missed out on the biking to work day (and the free food!) but I've been kicking it up the last few weeks, biking practically every day and even on errands after work, so I'm feeling pretty good about my carbon footprint right now...
