PEDAL POWER: BIKE TO WORK DAY MAY 21

May 12, 2010 (San Diego) – National Bike to Work Day is Friday, May 21st. Locally, SANDAG and the San Diego County Credit Union have teamed up to offer prizes and info for commuters who register at www.iCommuteSD.com. Registrants will be eligible to win an electric bicycle, spa gift certificate and more – plus a free Bike to Work Day T-shirt when you print out your receipt.

Cruise by one of dozens of pit stops throughout the County to refuel with beverages, free energizing snacks, and lots of encouragement! Pit stops are open from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., including stops in East County communities. Check www.icommutesd.com often to see which pit stops are on your route.
