PROVIDENCE GEARING UP FOR ANNUAL BIKE TO WORK DAY
April 27, 2007 – Across the United States cities are
gearing up for the 51st Annual National Bike to Work
Day. The City of Providence will be hosting its own
press conference and festivities for its Annual Bike
to Work Day event on Friday, May 18, 2007. Taking
place at Biltmore Park, bicyclists will convene at the
park at 7:00am for refreshments, information about
bicycling safety, upcoming plans for bike routes, and
resources available for bicycle commuters. Local,
state and community leaders will join Providence Mayor
David Cicilline for an 8:00am press conference.
“In addition to the benefits an individual enjoys as a
bike commuter, there are broader societal benefits
that include a reduction in pollution and less traffic
congestion,” says Dan Baudouin, Director of The
Providence Foundation. The U.S. Bureau of
Transportation Statistics cites that the average cost
to own and operate a car (as of 2001) is $7,533.00 per
15,000 miles. This statistic does not take into
account today’s ever increasing fuel costs. To help
promote and support bicycle commuting in Providence,
The Providence Foundation and the Rhode Island
Department of Transportation have invested in the
installation of over 100 bicycle hitches throughout
downtown Providence including locations at the Amtrak
Station, Bank of America Skating Center and Exchange
Terrace.
The goal of Bike to Work Day is to help reduce traffic
congestion, reduce the demand for parking, reduce air
pollution and make Providence a better place to live
and work. The event is funded by the Rhode Island
Department of Transportation through a grant from the
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program of the
federal Department of Transportation. Administrative
and organizational support is provided by the
Providence Foundation.

which Kozy Shacks do you eat? i know the "No Sugar Added" stuff has Splenda in it which is worst than sugar. The regular stuff any better?
I don't reccomend Kozy Shack for folks who get enough sugar in their diet from other means.
I don't (get enough sugar).
The ONLY Kozy Shack to eat/buy is the European Style Rice Pudding.
The rest: no where near as tasty.
Real vanilla beans, scrumptious custardy goodness... mmmm
Its like ice cream but better!
For those who are trying to keep the weight down skip it. The shit tastes too good, ya can't stop eating it.
If you are at racing weight and are riding enough to blow through calories (other tall freak i'd wager is in the same boat as me) its a good thing.
If you can't comfortably ride in the drops for hours (ie your fat gut is interfering with your pedal stroke) skip the Shack.
I'm not making a recommendation for how to eat. That and those who don't tolerate milk or eggs well should probably skip it.
Yes, the Chocolate Pudding is tasty, the tapioca stuff ain't bad.
But the Euro Style is the only one bike racers should even think about putting in the shopping cart!
