The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the grass is green; May is National Bike Month! And this Friday, May 16, is Bike to Work Day, so get ready to ride your bike and get ready to put the pedal to the metal on your way to work.

To help out along the way, Bike to Work Week has a list of events, a map and forums to talk it out.

Need some more ideas? The League of American Bicyclists have 50 tips [pdf] that can help celebrate the month-long festival of two wheels, and check out their list of events to see what's happening in your neck of the woods.

If you want to help turn Bike Month into Bike Year or Bike Decade, click on over to iBike, the site of the International Bike Fund, which has ideas and resources to bring bicycling to your community or your work. They'll help you start a community bike program, start a corporate or government fleet, and avoid common mistakes leading to bicycle theft.

Be sure to follow Lloyd's tips for commuting to work by bike. Have a great ride!

Difficulty level: Easy to moderate
