In the spirit of giving Mamma Earth a break, put your petrol-loving transport away for a week and ride your bike. May 17-25 has been declared Bike Week 2008, and the whole county’s getting involved. The following are just a few of the events centered around the two-wheeled pedaler.

• Street Skills for Cyclists: May 15-17. Two day, 10-hour class, $30. Register for CycleSmart at sbbike.org.

• Bike Week Kickoff Dinner: May 17 at the Chase Palm Park Center; Willie Weir returns with tales of bicycle touring and adventure.
