There's quite a spread on the sidewalk in front of Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop. I'm typing this in at 7:45 a.m., so you bike commuters out there.....stop off for coffee, a chat and a congratulations for biking to work!

Biked to work. Missed the rain. Found the breakfast. I'd say that's 3-for-3 for me!

Thanks for organizing and providing the great breakfast! I have to admit, it was a great incentive to get there early ahead of the rain. It was very nice to get a chance to chat with fellow bicyclists, too.

The photos on Facebook are good, but it's a shame that none (or little, if there was any) of your build up to the week emphasized wearing a helmet. Too many of the people in your photos were not wearing helmets.

  Of the folks who stopped by for a bite to eat, the majority of them rode up wearing helmets - it's just kind of tough to eat with a helmet on, so a lot of helmets perched on handlebars and backpacks while their owners had breakfast.

I hope all your employers have shower facilities. PHEW! I don't want to work near a biker.
