Riding a bike is so easy that there’s a saying specifically about how it’s easy. So why do so many lack the motivation to hop on two wheels and commute? On May 10, motivation arrives in the form of Bike to Work Day, with energizer stations providing coffee, snacks and other bike-related supplies for those who accept the not-very-challenging challenge. In the evening, there are even more pre–Tour of California celebrations all over Santa Rosa, including a free show by Carrie Rodriguez in Santa Rosa’s Courthouse Square and an RSVP-required kickoff party with Levi Leipheimer and Tom Boonen at NorCal BikeSport. Find energizer station maps and more info about the day at www.bikesonoma.org, www.marinbike.org and www.napabike.org.
