It looks like Friday's Bike to Work Day weather forecast in the Puget Sound calls for sunny skies with a 100% chance of spinning bike tires.
You can check for weather updates here (and this being Seattle, I encourage it), but there's no rain forecast until early Saturday. Temperatures range from a low of around 45 Friday morning to highs in the 60s during the day with increasing clouds.
If you plan to join the projected 10,000 people who will bike to work on Friday in the Puget Sound area, here are some things to check:
— 42 bike commute stations: Check the Cascade Bicycle Club website for interactive bike station maps or a list for bike commute stations located from Marysville in the North to Kent in the South, and Issaquah in the East to Bremerton in the West. Most of these will be open from 6 to 9 a.m. Snacks, water and swag will be available.
— Bike rally: Starbucks Bike to Work Rally from 8 to 8:30 a.m. at Seattle City Hall, featuring free stuff and speakers.
— Bike Buddy: Every Friday from 1 to 5 pm. through June, Kent Peterson, director of the Bicycle Alliance Commute Program, answers any and all commuting questions at the Seattle Bike Station, 311 3rd Avenue South.
— Last minute advice: The League of American Bicyclists has a 7-minute video showing how to “drive” your bicycle safely through city streets. If you're unsure about this, take a few minutes to view it.
— More events: The League of American Bicyclists has listed dozens of cities that are hosting bike events on Friday.
