This is just a reminder that Friday, May 16th is National and Jackaonville Bike To Work Day. If you have not yet made plans to participate. Please check the list of meeting locations below and show your support for cycling in Jacksonville.
Live too far out to make the ride in or are the meeting locations not convenient to you? Put your bike on a bus to downtown and meet at Hemming Plaza between 7:30 - 8:00 a.m. for a continental breakfast. I cannot stress how important it is for us fill Hemming Plaza with bikes this Friday. It is one of the very few times Jacksonville cyclists will have the full and undivided attention of the Mayor and City Council.
There is more information here.

I biked to work today...and every day for the last 3 weeks. I wasn't able to get to the Plaza in time. Hopefully you'll be posting some photos of the get together here. I'm anxious to see what kind of turn out there was.
