You've all seen how we roll here at Worldchanging -- by consistently cranking out some of the best solutions to the worlds most pressing problems...
But now, we want to turn the spotlight onto you -- specifically for Bike To Work Day, on Friday, May 15th.
What does your bike route look like? Are there any streets that can be improved? Or is your street totally "bike friendly? Are there any really amazing buildings or sights that make your ride that much more enjoyable? Are you sitting in a bike box and want to show the world what that is? What makes your city unique for bike commuters? What do you look like on your two wheeled, pedal powered green machine?
Bring your camera along for the ride on Friday and show us how you roll. Photograph any part of your ride that shows us that you not only participated in Bike to Work Day, but also shows us what biking in your town looks like. We would like to see anything and everything from your days ride.

Front and rear safety lights (blinkies) protect you well in many riding situations. But blinkies are weakest when viewed from the side. Unfortunately, side visibility is the most common cause of nighttime bicycle-car collisions. Every time you approach a turn or an intersection, your side visibility is key to drivers seeing you.
Bike commuting, early morning training, and sunset rides should be inspiring, relaxing, fun and invigorating. And they can be, when you take the right safety measures. To feel relaxed and confident at those intersections, you need to know that drivers from all angles, especially the sides, can see you as early as possible.
