Informational Tidbits From the PSO('s Dog) <br /> QUOTE FOR THE WEEK <br /> When science discovers the center of the universe, a lot of people will be <br /> disappointed to find they are not it. - Bernard Baily <br /> BUSINESS BICYCLE CHALLENGE - FRIDAY. JUNE 10 <br /> If only ONE percent of the car owners in America left their cars parked for <br /> one day a week, we would save an estimated 42 million gallons of gas a year! <br /> You can bring us one step closer to that dream by doing your part. The <br /> cities of Eugene and Springfield, the Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority, <br /> and the Bicycle Federation of Oregon have picked the perfect day to do it, <br /> - Friday, June 10! <br /> The week of June 5 through June 11 has been designated Bicycle Commute Week. <br /> This week -long celebration of two - wheeled travel will be topped off with the <br /> Business Bicycle Challenge on Friday, June 10. We need a large number of <br /> City of Eugene staff riding to work on that Friday so we can win the prize <br /> for the public agency with the highest percentage of employees commuting by <br /> bicycle. <br /> The Business Bicycle Challenge is organizing a big party with music and ice <br /> cream after work on Friday, June 10, to honor all participating businesses <br /> and agencies. More info to come. Please join us! <br /> You can even drive part of the way with your bike in the trunk, park, and <br /> then ride in the last few miles if your commute is a long one. Your <br /> participation in this event can help increase the awareness that cycling is <br /> a logical and efficient mode of transportation in our community. <br /> For those of you who would like to know more about safe bicycle commuting <br /> practices, a lunchtime workshop is being set up. The workshop will offer <br /> advice from an expert bicycle commuter, videos, maps, and more. Stay tuned <br /> for additional information. <br /> No event like this would be complete without a T- shirt. This year's shirt is <br /> a handsome, medium - weight, 100% cotton beauty that features the Business <br /> Bicycle Challenge logo on the back in red and black, with the City logo on <br /> the front left chest. Contact Phil Weiler at x5823 to see the shirt or to <br /> receive an order form. The cost is only $7. The order form and money must <br /> be in by May 16, so call today! <br />
