[Autoposted while I’m in France]

Unless something changed since I went off to France for the week, the Car-Free festival should be starting right now at 7th and F streets. Enjoy the free music, yoga classes, try out a SmartBike or get a bike tune-up.

Hie thee to Gallery Place between now and 3 pm! There’s free valet bike parking, and the Circulator is free all day.

Say hello to the Ministry of Bicycling, or help them wave flags and hand out flyers. They’re planning to arrive around noon.

When you get back, post your experiences and/or photo links in the comments.
