Anyway, Bike to Work Day, celebrated nationally since 1956, has gained a lot more attention in recent years because it’s an environmentally-conscious event, and raises awareness for causes like global warming. It’s quite simple really, if you bike to work, you’re not driving and polluting the ozone layer, thus cutting back on global warming. Ah, what the heck, maybe I’ll bust out my old Mongoose Menace and ride to work tomorrow!

It’s estimated that biking to work will save you $5 a day on average – taking gas, wear & tear and tolls into consideration. 5 bucks a day isn’t too shabby these days.

This Friday is National Bike to Work Day! That exclamation point is actually my attempt at sarcasm, because bikers on the streets annoy the sh*t out of me. They’re always in my way and slowing down traffic. They never stop for lights and think they own the road. Maybe I’m just bitter because I don’t bike?

National Donut Day takes place on the first Friday of June every year, which would make the celebration on schedule for tomorrow. The ‘holiday’ celebrates the donut – worshiping it, cherishing it, and eventually consuming it. Due to the conception that donuts are unhealthy, many people in recent years have modified the holiday to become ‘National Donut and Bagel Day. Like bagels are that much better.

National Donut Day started back in 1938 as a fundraiser for the Chicago Salvation Army. They wanted to raise money for the Great Depression and also to honor the ‘lassies’ who served donuts to solders in France behind the front lines in World War I.

There are many places you can get donuts to celebrate National Donut Day – the first place that comes to mind is Dunkin’ Donuts. But don’t forget about Krispy Kreme or your good ol’ local gas station. If you’re feeling brave, you can even bake your own donuts and feast in the comfort of your home!

Amsterdam has always been known for its liberal reputation, namely legal drugs and prostitution. I got to experience the liberal ways of Amsterdam back in 2004, when I visited for an extended weekend. It’s a fun city, but I probably would’ve lost my mind if I stayed there any longer!

Anyway, I wanted to let you all know about the Amsterdam Beer Bike. This is something I never saw while I was visiting, and hadn’t even heard about until recently. The beer bike is basically a mobile bar. Equipped with loads of booze and thirsty tourists, it roams around the streets of Amsterdam. The drinkers not only need to pay for a ride, they have to work for it. Everyone on the bike will be pedaling to propel it through the streets. Though, I suppose you could always take a break and the thing would still move, just a bit slower.

Check out a video of the beer bike in action in Amsterdam:
