<p>Here in New York we've been having an unfortunate spring, as the past few weeks have brought us some yucky rain and surprisingly chilly temperatures.&nbsp; Note the discarded, busted umbrellas in the wind tunnel near the Etsy Labs:<img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/article_images/bumbershoots.jpg" alt="" width="555" height="240" /><br />However, we're closing in on the outdoor season and the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/bikes/">bikes</a> are getting pulled out of their winter hibernation. &nbsp;</p><p>May has been declared <a href="http://www.bikeleague.org/programs/bikemonth/" target="_blank">National Bike Month,</a> and thanks to the <a href="http://www.bikeleague.org/index.php" target="_blank">League of American Bicyclists</a>, the third Friday in May (this Friday, May 16!) has been <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bike-to-Work_Day" target="_blank">National Bike to Work Day</a> since 1956.&nbsp; Lots of major cities have events planned for Friday and the rest of the month, so if you're here in NYC with us, check out the Bike Month NYC <a href="http://bikemonthnyc.org/index.php" target="_blank">site</a>, or search online to see what's going on near you. So rain or shine, be ready to get on your bike and ride! <br /><br />P.S. Plus, we can use the break from the gas prices...<br />P.P.S. Someone should invent a biodegradable umbrella...</p><p><em>Get ready for bike season by bringing out your bike this Friday. Here's to National Bike to Work Day!</em> </p>
