Today was Bike to Work Day, a popular day to encourage everyone to get out and ride their bikes. Breakfast stations lined up all over the Front Range for everyone who stopped by on a bike. Free food and helping our environment is always a good thing. Two other people are doing their best to raise awareness for biking to work. Two cyclists, Carlos and Joe, who are also geeks are biking their way across the country and “they hope to inspire (or potentially force) other geeks to change their commuting habits.” They’re behind Real Geeks Ride.
I don’t bike to work. I don’t even own a bike. So I might not be the best person to talk about this. But what I love is that they’re not avid cyclists. Their geeks with bikes riding across the country to encourage people like me to get bikes and ride.
My friend and all-around favorite, Tara Anderson of Lijit, asked me to assist with getting the word out as they’ll be doing a Boulder stop. We’ll be hosting them on Friday, July 3 at 4 to 6 pm at the Draft House. So come by and bring your bike. Or if you’re like me, park and get inspired by two people biking along the country in places ranging from York, PA to Griswold, IA to Boulder, CO.
See you on July 3rd!

I know Joe and these guys sure put a lot of work into Real Geeks Ride. It'll be great to host them!
