UPDATE (May 17)—IKEA workers are looking for a little company Friday morning during their annual celebration of Bike to Work Day.

Anyone is invited to participate in the event, sponsored by Baltimore County and Baltimore Metro Council. Beginning at 8:30 a.m. on May 18 at the Community College of Baltimore County Essex campus off King Avenue, cyclists plan to travel about 3.5 miles to the IKEA on Honeygo Boulevard in White Marsh.

Those who register may receive a free T-Shirt, giveaways, water, snacks, a "Free Small Breakfast" coupon and a map, according to IKEA Baltimore store spokesman Bill Meiswinkel.

Patch editor Emily Kimball also plans to participate and provide some Patchy giveaways.

Registration information can be found here.
