A.M. Greenlist: Bicycles and green events

>> Today's the beginning of bike to work week! Did you cycle to work today? You still have four days left to join in the fun -- and win a folding bike.

>> Every day's bike to work day for Karen at Losanjealous since her Honda "went to compact heaven in January.": "Getting around L.A. could be a lot less of a hassle for bikers, and the key is to get more of us out there. So stop making excuses and hop on the bike, maybe use the next five days as an experiment."

>> Higher gas prices mean the freeway's less like a parking lot now. Gas consumption's down -- and been going down for the last two years. "Meanwhile, ridership on mass transit has continued on an upswing. Metrolink commuter trains are averaging about 46,000 passengers each weekday, up from 44,000 a year ago."

>> Tomorrow's the night of eco-pampering and education, "Beauty and Sustainability," happening at lululemon athletic in Beverly Hills. Register online for $20.

>> For those who complained they were too old to go to the Room 367 green biz networking event: Green Business Networking happens tomorrow night, and has no age cap.

>> The skinny on avoiding BPA, an endocrine disruptor that's been making the news a lot lately: Use only plastic containers that are labeled No. 1, No. 2, No. 4, or No. 5, or specifically marked "BPA-free." Avoid alll other plastics.
