Sound Transit celebrates Bike Month

Mike Harbour, Deputy CEO, Sound Transit

May is Bike Month and that’s a big deal at Sound Transit. In preparation for the month, we recently had a basic bike repair class at Union Station to go over such things as fixing a flat or cleaning a bike chain.

And then on Thursday, our commute challenge began. This year Sound Transit has 10 teams and 100 riders who will track their bicycle miles and trips for Cascade Bicycle Club’s Commute Challenge.

Also, for the third year in a row, Sound Transit is hosting a commuter station in front of Union Station on national Bike to Work Day, Friday, May 16. King County Metro and a local bike mechanic will join others at the station.

Bicyclists who stop by between 6 and 9am can practice putting their bike on a bus bike rack, get a patch kit or other useful item and have their bike looked at by the mechanic.
