Today’s ride was to the grocery store and back. That’s all time allowed, but I did do a little maintenance work on my Jamis, including finding a pretty ingenious bar end plug.
Happy Bike to Work day tomorrow!

Since today is the national Ride of Silence, a day set aside each year to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured, as well as to raise awareness that the roads belong to all of us - cyclists, pedestrians and motorists alike.
Surprisingly there was only one Ride of Silence event in Oklahoma (Stillwater) so we decided to do our bike ride in silence to honor the event and our fellow cyclists who have been killed or injured.
Oklahoma City’s own bike share program kicks off on the National Bike to Work day, Friday, May 18, 2012. How’s that for timing!
Many cities throughout the U.S. have established bike share programs, and it’s a sign of the growth of Oklahoma City’s downtown that bike sharing and biking in general are being promoted.
It makes sense; helping with traffic flow and parking, both of which are common problems in most downtown urban areas.
Spokies will offer daily, monthly and annual membership options – all of which entitle the user with unlimited rides throughout the duration of their membership.
Membership rates are: 5$ daily, $20 monthly or $75 annually.
Bikes will be located at self-serve kiosks throughout the downtown area:
-
The Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library
-
The Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum
-
Plaza Court in Midtown (on Walker between 10th and 11th streets)
-
Deep Deuce at Walnut at 2nd St.
-
South side of Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark
-
Northeast corner of Reno and Robinson near Cox Convention Center
I can’t wait to try it out!
