Bike To Work Week in Flagstaff

This week is the 6th annual Flagstaff Bike to Work Week, sponsored by the Flagstaff Biking Organization. Bike to work week ran into a Spring snow storm on Tuesday, but many committed Flagstaff bikers went to work on their bikes anyway, knowing that the six inches that greeted them on the east side of town in the morning would be melted by the time it was time to pedal home in the evening. And, indeed, the late afternoon was glorious as only sunny Flagstaff can be after a winter storm. The snow-capped mountains were shining, but the streets were dry.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) if you are biking to work in Flagstaff, you can stop for a free breakfast at any one of eight locations.  Then, on the way home, stop by City Hall for a Town Hall meeting from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The intent of the Bicycle Town Hall Meeting is to give the community an opportunity to learn what’s being done to make Flagstaff a better place for bicycles, and to help City officials and other agencies learn what’s important to the community regarding accommodation of bicycles.

Thursday, biking to school is the emphasis of the day, with events at school locations. Thursday night is movie and awards night at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Flagstaff.

Friday night, celebrate a great week with other Flagstaff bicyclists at the ramada in Thorpe Park.  Bring a dish to share at the Potluck Cyclo-Bration.
