International
Bike-to-Work
Day Feb. 14
Sitka’s cyclists who ride their bikes year-round are invited to win prizes by participating in International Winter Bike-to-Work Day on Friday, Feb. 14.
It is the second year of the event, which started when several communities in Canada challenged each other to see which one could have the highest number of bike commuters. This year the event has expanded, and Sitka and Anchorage have committed to hosting events.
Sitkans should log on to the International Winter Bike-to-Work Day website, http://winterbiketoworkday.org/, and commit to riding to work or school on Feb. 14 (people who work at home can use a bike ride for errands or sport as their bike commute). On Feb. 14, during the bike commute, stop by the Yellow Jersey Cycle Shop, 329 Harbor Dr., between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. to enter name and phone number in a contest to win prizes.
‘‘We encourage all cyclists to wear helmets, wear bright reflective clothes, have working solid white headlights and blinking red taillights, and follow all rules of the road, such as riding on the right side of the road (not on the sidewalk) and stop at all stop lights/stop signs,’’ Sitka organizers said.
So far prize donations are from Yellow Jersey Cycle Shop, Sitka Conservation Society, the Sitka Public Health Nurse Clinic, KCAW-Raven Radio, and the SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium Health Promotion-Diabetes Program. Businesses and people wanting to donate more prizes to the event can contact Charles Bingham at 738-8875 or
