Liberty Lake held its 1st annual In Motion! Bike Fest yesterday. P2P had information at a booth, but we were not able to attend and chat with people. i hope they had a good turn out. i love that someone is putting on an event like this to encourage biking in our area!

another idea that i love, once again, is combining the slow-food and slow-transportation movements. portland is hosting a tour d’organics this october. the idea is simple: tour local organic farms in your area by bicycle and sample tasty, unadulturated goodies–yipee!! i can’t sign up for the portland event cause it’s a sale weekend at REI. but it just gets my brain churning. could P2P organize a similar ride for spokane farmers, foodies, and freaky cyclists? does riding to quillisascut cheese in rice, washington, olsen farms in colville, and tolstoy farms in davenport get your mouth watering and your legs twitching? it sure does for me :,,) and after all, why drive to portland, when we can ride from our door to some of the best local produce around?!
