In Cinco de Mayo's long shadow, groggy gringos may not be in the mood to entertain another Latin beat this weekend. But light-and-airy Havana in Alameda, with its Bahamian blues and greens, can easily seduce.  

Each year, hundreds of volunteers staff "energizer stations" to fuel and encourage those who participate in Bike to Work Day. Station workers prepare reusable "goodie bags" filled with fruit, snacks, cycling literature and other treats. Map your visit to an energizer station, or add notes, pictures or video of your two-wheeled commute!  

Every year, designers and decorators are turned loose on a San Francisco classic and the result is always stunning. Take A Peek Inside to see how the Pink Palace has been transformed this year.
