May is National Bike Month, and in Whatcom County we
celebrate with a calendar of events The Bike To Work And School Day events make it difficult to stay
off your bike! Here’s what you have to look forward to on Friday, May 18.
Annual Pancake Breakfast at The Hub
Friends and members of The Hub Community Bike Shop will be
flipping pancakes for passing cyclists in their annual celebration! Stop by as
you ride past on the South Bay Trail. From 7am until the syrup runs out.
Receive Cheers at a Celebration Station
Pick a route to work that passes one of the many Celebration
Stations. Stop for treats, cheers, and to fill out raffle entries for prizes.
See map at biketoworkandschoolday.org. Stations open at 6:30 am and remain open
until 9 am. Some stations will stay open until 10 am if the volunteers are
being entertained by lots of cyclists, so be sure to stop by!
Tricycle Race – Test Your Skill (or Watch Others) Noon at
the Bellingham City Hall. Round up your team and enter the annual hilarious
contest of humor and tricycling skill at this event sponsored by the City of Bellingham.

and school day with a THANK-YOU celebration from 5-10pm. Enjoy live music, prizes,
