This Friday is the OFFICIAL Bike to Work Day, which means that if you can you should ride your bike to work. Crazy, eh? Since we Americans do nothing selfless without an incentive, the powers that be will be providing food for us on our travel, as long as we can swing by from 7-9am (and 4-6pm for the afternoon stations).

Here's a list of the breakfast stations, which will be in operation from 7-9am tomorrow morning:

AJ’s Cyclery, 10019 W. Parmer Lane.
Banister Lane at Casey Street. (sponsored by LOBV)
Bicycle Sport Shop, 517 S. Lamar Blvd.
BikeTexas, 1902 E. Sixth St.
Bouldin Creek Cafe, 1501 S. 1st St.
Capital MetroRail, Plaza Saltillo Station, 2910 East Fifth St.
City Hall Plaza, 301 W. Second St.
One Texas Center, 505 Barton Springs Road.
Flipnotics, 1601 Barton Springs Road.
Freewheeling Bicycles, 24th and San Gabriel streets.
Mellow Johnny’s, Fourth at Nueces streets.
The Peddler, 5015 Duval
Shoal Creek Boulevard at Far West right of way. (sponsored by LOBV)
Thunderbird Coffee, 2200 Manor Road.
Wheatsville Coop, 3101 Guadalupe St.
Whole Foods, Sixth Street at Lamar Boulevard.
Whole Foods Gateway, 9607 Research Blvd.
Yellow Bike Project, 1200 Webberville Road.

The CoA has provided a handy dandy map in PDF format pointing out the multitude of stops, including about half a dozen afternoon stops for people returning home (or really odd shift workers going in). Please note that you don't actually have to have a JOB to benefit from this, just ride a bike and pretend to be going somewhere.

and a pic at the yellow bike station counts double, since it's so far out, right Eileen? Maybe not, but come see us anyway! Could be the only station serving cold-brewed iced coffee (AKA Toddy, AKA real iced coffee).

Don't forgot to preach at your carmmuting co-workers!

Cruise by the Breakfast stations, snap a picture of yourself and meet up at Mellow Johnny's at 9:00. Visit the most stops and be recognized with a t-shirt thanks to One World Bikes - one for each the top male and female. Kate and Frye are looking to defend their record 12 of 13 from last year. But this year there are more stations so it'll take some planning. Remember, this is not a race.... see ya at 9:00. Eileen
