The Edmonds Bicycle Advocacy Group (EBAG) hosted its 7th annual Bike to Work Day on Friday morning. The group set up early across from the ferry terminal in front of the Copper Pot restaurant to catch commuters coming off the ferry. Here, EBAG’s Janice Corbett puts a water bottle in Greg Ransom’s backpack. Greg lives in Richmond Beach and commutes to his job in Mukilteo, which takes him “a little more than an hour each way.” (Photo by Larry Vogel)John Schlatter lives near Firdale Village and regularly commutes by bicycle to his job in Mukilteo, a 10.7 mile ride. “I’m committed to riding my bike to work every day in May,” he said. “I keep it up in winter, but often have to cut back to 2-3 days per week depending on weather.” (Photo by Larry Vogel)Leif Bjorback shows off his Bike to Work Day socks from last year. Leif works for the City of Edmonds and lives in Lynnwood. “It’s only a 4-mile commute, and it’s downhill all the way in the morning,” he said.
