It's that time of year again. Bike to Work Day 2022!
It's actually my day off - PERFECT for Bike To (not) Work! It was a beautiful morning for it: sunny, warm, calm, bikes and freebies galore...
If one were to stop and eat something at every station... well... I don't think they would survive. So much food to be had! And swag. Don't forget swag.
Honestly, I don't care so much about the goodies. I just enjoy playing along and observing. But that's not to say we came home empty handed or empty stomached. Here are a few of our takeaways.
Notice that we got tote bags. Fort Collins grocery stores do not provide plastic bags, and they charge ten cents per paper sack. This started back in May (we voted last year). I've been using tote bags since before, it's always good to keep those tote bags on hand!
We mainly hit two big stops that included multiple sponsors - The University Oval and The Square in Old Town. There were many other sponsors and stops, so we had to pare it down to something manageable.
Anyway, I threw together a quick summary of our morning - whittled down to two minutes.

It just seems like yesterday that it was last year's BTW day! Time flies when one is having fun! They did the same thing in California about bags, charging 10 cents for a plastic bag, and then during the pandemic they wouldn't let people bring in their cloth totes and gave everyone plastic bags, lol. Not sure what they are doing now :)
Always fun to get swag and free food! Sounded like a good variety of it too! Enjoyed the video; it was nice to see so many bikes participating!
betty
Just wanted to pop in and say hi. Always a nice relief from my long days to visit and check out your pics and videos. Glad to see you took a little vacay! Hope you’re doing well. :)
Betty, yes, time flies! Last year was our first BTW experience, so this year's was good in that we knew a little more what to expect.
It's a bit weird not to have stacks of plastic grocery bags at the store, but I remember when that's all we were "allowed" during heavier covid times!
SR300, hey you! Thanks for dropping by. I miss getting updates on your life and hope all is well.
