BCC Office Opens for 2014

The office is open for the 27th Annual Thurston County Bicycle Commuter Contest!! Here's what I saw on my first commute in for the year. If you're biking for transportation these days, or just looking forward to warmer days ahead for biking, follow our blog or like us on Facebook! You can also join our mailing list for monthly our newsletter. Feel free to contact us at anytime for information about the BCC or any aspect of practical cycling. Yay for practical cycling!

Happy Summer!

Summer officially begins at 10:16 this morning, and at solar noon today, the sun will be at its highest point of the year. Today is the longest day (in terms of daylight) of 2011. Happy summer, and happy practical cycling!

We are madly crunching numbers and organizing prizes, getting ready for the BCC Awards Ceremony this Saturday at the Olympia Farmers Market at 9:30 am. Come on down and join the fun!

Food for thought

Seen from the saddle, all pictures taken within 1/2 hour and 1/2 mile of each other.

Friday Morning Commuter-Count

It was a chilly but beautiful ride in today- the mountain was blazing out from under the clouds, and I saw three snowflakes float by just as I was passing Ralph's Thriftway. The bike-commuter count was a little low this morning- I only saw five other bikers, and one mallard duck waddling beside the road near a rainwater pond. Happy Friday!

Seen From The Saddle- Feb 2, 2011

• Took the sceninc route home last night and was rewarded with this nice view. I do actually pull over and stop to take these...
• Last night's Capital Bicycling Club meeting was fun, seeing a video about the English frame builder Jack Taylor, and some very classy old bikes. Aslo confirmed CBC's sponsorship of the Bicycle Commuter Contest for 2011- thanks!
• Coming: 2 new Commuter Profiles in the works and later, a how-to video on loading your bike on the bus.
