KPBX leader can toot his horn in Bike to Work Week

BICYCLING — As a boy, KPBX program director Verne Windham may have had longings to play tuba, but he instinctively knew a French horn would be a more toteable package during Spokane’s annual Bike to Work Week .

Good choice, Verne!

The annual event to promote non-polluter two-wheel commuter transportation kicked off this morning with a free pancake breakfast in Riverfront Park provided by Mountain Gear .

How many miles will you rack up on a bike instead of a car this week?

• By the way, the background music for the breakfast provided by Madeline McNeill and her guitar was sensational. If you’re looking for an entertainer for a gathering from the South Hill to the concert hall, check this lady out.
