Innsbruck makes it easy to be green and drive your bike right to the train station – and park it inside a bike parking garage! Why don’t more cities have this?

How sweet to find these bike washing stations around Innsbruck, Austria.

The first annual Oinktoberfest will be held at the American Legion Grounds in Roanoke Rapids, NC. The gates will open at 2pm and live music starts at 3pm and the live music won’t disappoint.

Included in the price of the ticket is the entertainment, which includes four bands playing live for you plus all you can eat of some of the finest BBQ and Sides  served by FoSho from Emporia, VA. Food will include BBQ Pork & Chicken along with the sides and sweet and unsweet tea.
