Dust Off Those Bikes Woodinville, Friday is Bike to Work Day

Riders are checking their tires and grabbing their water bottles for the popular cycling event.

Cyclists throughout the Puget Sound are getting ready to abandoned their cars and use their bodies as the driving engine to get to work on Friday, May 20 for Bike to Work Day.

Jade Peterson, assistant manager att, is one of the thousands of people expected to join Cascade Bicycle Club’s annual event.

Jade said she usually walks to work; she only lives a couple of miles from the Woodinville store. Tomorrow, however, she will be working at the Redmond location on Microsoft’s main campus, about a 10-mile trip.

Relatively new to cycling—she just got her bike last summer—Jade said she is a seasonal biker, not keen on cycling in the rain. Still, she said, the rain is not as bad as drivers who do not give her the three feet of space required by law.

“There are still a few drivers who don’t give you enough space,” she said. “It definitely scares me when a truck comes buzzing up too close beside me.”
