First day of spring = biketopia

God, it's nice to remember that biking can be more than a strictly utilitarian way to get around the city again. There are a couple events going on this weekend that may be of interest if you, too, are rediscovering your love of the steel steed:

— Your bike hit hard by this year's nasty winter? Head to Neighborhood Bike Works (3916 Locust Walk, 215-386-0316) on Sat., March 20, for its Cheap Bike Sale (which we're told will also include cheap bike parts).

— Or, if you're in the mood to wear a costume, ride a bike, and sprinkle seeds around the city like a green guerrilla, check out the Spring Equinox Bike Ride that leaves at Locust and the Schuylkill (the loop at Schuylkill Banks) at 3 p.m. on Sat., March 20. Be prepared to shed a piece of clothing at one of the stop-off points (worry not shy folk, scarves/bracelets/jackets are fair game).

— And don't forget about the tiny bike race on Saturday that startern/Showdown-ette Julia West covered over in Agenda.

Know of any other bike happenings this weekend? Let us know in the comments!
