#BikeNite A1: Posting from #WaterlooRegion, a nice mix of an urban core (the cities of #Kitchener, #Waterloo, and #Cambridge), surrounded by four rural townships, #Woolwich, #Wellesley, #Wilmot, and #NorthDumfries.
Some of the best cycle paths (the #TransCanadaTrail f'rinstance) pass right by, or through, farmland.

A1. Rushford, Minnesota.
Like many other set bicycle events for me, this #WinterBikeToWorkDay fell on a day I was unable to bicycle. I bicycle a lot, it's my main transportation and enjoyment. But I usually can't finish a #coffeneuring event, do #30DaysOfBiking or even manage #BikeToSchoolDay or #BikeToWorkDay because they fall on days I have family obligations or motor vehicle travel time with the Spouse.

A4. To answer my own question, my cycling stickers aren't on my bike. I put them on my toolbox (of bike tools). Some are quite old.
Amongst those in photo 1, the 'Giant' sticker came from a mountain bike magazine sticker set and must be ancient. 'Noah's' is a long gone LBS, Noah's Ark, that used to be near Stroud in Gloucestershire. 'TF Tuned' is the company that used to service my #MTB suspension forks.
Amongst those in photo 2, '889' is my helmet sticker/race number from a 24 hour mountain bike race called Mountain Mayhem. It is from 2003, the second year I raced Mountain Mayhem. I was told stickers should not be put on helmets and so I didn't use it in the race and 22 years later it is still on my toolbox. The 'Saab Salomon' sticker in photo 1 is from the sponsors of the event.
Finally, in photo 3 is a sticker for the Cyclo-Cross World Championships, held in Louisville, Kentucky (USA). I did not go, but I do go to lots of Cyclo-Cross World Championships in Europe and in 2012 at #Koksijde, Belgium, the following year's event was being promoted, including by handing out stickers.

#BikeNite A1, redux: Just realized you were specifically referring to Bike To Work Day. Same thing, though. A few years ago the City of #Waterloo Cycling Committee (part of the City's Active Transportion Department) had a "Stop For A Banana As You Bike To Work" stand at the public square. Less planning than a guided ride, but still got people to come out who might not have otherwise.
