Friday will be a busy day on the streets of Ballard both on bike and on foot. Seattle’s annual Bike to Work day is tomorrow. From 6 – 9 a.m. bicycle commuters can stop by one of 44 designated commute stations (including the one at 8th Ave NW and the Burke Gilman Trail sponsored by Friends of the Burke Gilman Trail) for commuting information, snacks, Cascade Bicycle Club materials and swag. You can also enter to win prizes including a bicycle and bike gear.
