I know, I know. My first post in this new blogging endeavor is all issue-y, and environmental and stuff, and therefore no fun. What can I say? I like breathing (especially air I can’t see).

That’s why for the past few years I’ve volunteered at the Clean Air Bike Rally, a free bike ride put on by the City of Fort Worth that’ll go down Saturday morning at 9.

This will be the sixth annual Clean Air ride (not the fifth, like it says if you follow the above link), and both the ride and turnout keep getting better every year. Haily Summerford and the rest of the staff in the Department of Environmental Management have done a great job creating an event that gives great visibility to cycling as an alternative means of transportation. Plus it’s free, and you could probably use a brisk morning bike ride to get the last of those Friday night beers out of your system.

And since it’s Halloween weekend you should probably come in costume.
