Stoked to see that there was twice as many people at the Reno Bike Project Pancake feed this morning to support Bike to Work Day. Logan and I rolled down, ate some bacon, and then we rolled out to his school. We practiced his spelling words on the ride out, stopping at Walden’s Cafe for some more bacon. Thanks Kyle/Noah/Mikey for the bacon and griddle and Soma for flipping ‘them flapjacks.
Come on out for some fresh air, great exercise and free breakfast! Friday is “Ride Your Bike To Work Day.” The Reno Bike Project is serving up free breakfast for bike to work participants – the fun starts bright and early at 6 a.m. - Southeast Corner of 250 Bell St. Call (775) 323-4488 for more info.
