You can show your support for bicycling this Friday by riding your bicycle to work.
To help in this endeavor in the Seattle area, dozens of bike commuter stations will be set up from 6 to 9 a.m. during Bike to Work Day.

The Cascade Bicycle Club mapped out all the stations at right. They’re located from Lake Stevens in the north to Federal Way in the south, and Bremerton in the west to Preston in the east.
That’s where bike commuters can find maps, bike swag and encouragement. Local bike shops will staff some of the commuter stations and provide light maintenance for free.
