The weather isn't exactly "spring-like" today, but perhaps that's all the more reason to hop on the bike and get your blood flowing. It's Bike to Work Week (BTWW) in Milwaukee and aside from saving a few bucks on gas and gaining a little muscle in the calves, there are plenty of reasons to keep the car in park this week.

7-9 a.m. -- Daily free coffee, bakery and bicycle commuting information is available for bike commuters at:
Tuesday, May 13
