Car
not running? No cash for gas? Now you have a new reason to ride
your bike to class. Valley Bike Week, April 17 through April 25,
will let any person riding his or her bike around town be eligible
to win round trip tickets for two. Each time you ride your bike
you will be entered to win. The event will start at the Bike Swap
Meet in the Phoenix Municipal stadium. Activities that will be
offered include the Glendale Family Bike Ride and a helmet raffle
benefiting Phoenix Children's Hospital Safety House. The week
also features Capitol Ride, in which state legislators will ride
from Patriots Park to the State Capitol to help raise awareness
about Bike Week and bike safety. April 21 will mark Bike to Work
and School day. The Bike Week signature event, Bike to Bank One
Ballpark, will be April 25. This family fun ride is a three-mile
ride from Margaret Hance Park to the Diamondbacks game. For more
