It's That Time of Year Again...Bike Month

But really, what month isn't 'Bike Month' at the Broadway Bicycle School. Here most of us tend to ride our bicycles regardless of what month it is, but the month of May gets some special recognition for cyclists locally and nationally and it is easy to get excited about that.

We try to do our part during Bike Month and Bike to Work Week here in Cambridge.

We donated some killer prizes to the MassCommuter Challenge Bike Bash.

And who could forget our annual Bike to Work Week Pancake Breakfast. We don't know exactly how long we've been doing the pancake breakfast, but I did find this article in the Harvest Coop Times from 1996 - that's 14 years of serving pancakes to bike commuters in Cambridge! Here's a peak into all the fun we had at last year's Pancake Breakfast.

This year Bike to Work Week starts on May 17th.

Our Pancake Breakfast for Bike Commuters is on Tuesday May 18th, 2010 from 7:30am to 9:30am.

Aside from the best pancakes, coffee and o.j. you've ever been served in a bike shop, we'll also be hosting a raffle to benefit Bikes Not Bombs. We've got some great raffle prizes from Planet Bike, Salsa Cycles, Lazer Helmets, Civia Cycles, a sick fixie wheelset from Origin8 and more. Raffle tickets will be $2 each or 3 for $5. And all proceeds go to Bikes Not Bombs.

Stay tuned for more details on the raffle.
