2008 Vulcan Bike to Work Breakfast

Join Cascade Bicycle Club Education Foundation and the local business community for the Vulcan Bike to Work Breakfast on Wednesday May 7, at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel. I invite you to serve as a Table Captain and your company to sponsor this must-attend event.

Sponsorship, participation and donations from the Bike to Work Breakfast help Cascade get more people commuting by bike and more businesses supporting them. With your help, Cascade has produced significant results.

• In 2000, 5,365 riders participated in Cascade's Bike to Work Day event. In 2007, 19,044 participated - 3.5 times as many cyclists - making Seattle the top performing city in the United States!
• In 2004, Cascade started its month long Bike to Work Commute Challenge, with 3,303 individuals participat-ing on 719 teams. By 2007, 7,523 cyclists, including 1,533 new bike commuters made up 1,238 teams. These riders made 66,937 commute trips, rode 70,575 commute days and traveled 1,002,449 miles - reducing their greenhouse gas emissions by more than one million pounds.
• Last year, Cascade's Bicycle Commuting Corporate Solutions specialists coached 60 businesses on how to increase bike commuting by creating supportive business cultures and infrastructure. This same team worked intensively with 12 area businesses and increased their registered bike commuters by 443% (from 192 to 851 respectively).

Businesses and organizations that sponsored and hosted tables at the breakfast last year include: Vulcan, Inc.; Group Health Cooperative; Unico; Starbucks; Flexcar (now Zipcar); Children's Hospital; Mithun; Pointb; RW Beck; Seattle Department of Transportation; Stoel Rives, LLP; King County Metro and Executive's Office; Summit Capital; SvR Design and many more.

Previous year's speakers have included Sally Jewell, CEO of REI; Ron Sims, King County Executive; and Seattle Mayor, Greg Nickels. We expect to deliver another great lineup of presenters for the 2008 Vulcan Bike to Work Breakfast

Your participation counts. I invite you to join us for excellent networking, a fun and informative program and a unique opportunity to learn how bicycle commuting strengthens the Seattle metropolitan area business community.

Sincerely,

Chuck Ayers
Executive Director, Cascade Bicycle Club
