Yes, yes, every day is bike to work day, but today is the day we get to celebrate it. Here's a photo of one group of happy participants in Berkeley, California, where the mayors of Copenhagen, Denmark and Jena, Germany joined Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates for a "mayorpalooza" bike ride through town.

We're putting together a post with photos from all over California. Do you have photos of Bike to Work Day, or Bike Month, in your city? Share them with us!
