or baked goods for me when I visited. Later I
started baking for friends and co-workers-especially after going vegan-because there were
so few vegan treats available. Then, before I
became a Pattycake worker/owner I was a frequent customer.
Karen Holmes: My mother was Danish. In
Denmark, everybody bakes. We'd say I learned
to bake at the school of my mom's knee.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR BICYCLING AND OR BICYCLE ADVOCACY ROOTS?
SB: I've been car-free for eight years, so having better bicycle infrastructure and laws to
protect bicyclists matters to me. I'm out there
riding every day and I want to feel safe.
KH: Another part of being Danish is that everybody bikes. In Folsom, the community has
embraced cycling. We have 57 miles of bike
trails. Our city council has gotten bridges, paths
and user-friendly facilities built. I'm on our local BFB Board and members suggested that
Karen's Bakery apply as a BFB, so we did. One
of the gentlemen from that board helped me fill

WHAT'S THE BICYCLING-BAKERY CONNECTION?
SB: One of our goals is to be the most environmentally friendly business we possibly
can, and to encourage other businesses to do
the same. That's why we decided to make all of
our inner city wholesale deliveries by bike and
trailer.
KH: Cyclists find us, and on weekends especially, there are many. Our first location was really tiny. It sat 14 people! I remember sending an
employee across the street to the hardware store
to buy 10 plastic chairs so the cyclists could sit
down outside.
We moved to a bigger location near the
American River Bike Trail and next door to a
local bike shop. Now the Amgen Tour of California comes right past the bakery. I didn't plan
for our bakery and bicycling to be so symbiotic,
but that's exactly what happened.
WHAT TREATS AT YOUR BAKERY DO BICYCLISTS TEND TO
PARTICULARLY ENJOY?
SB: Our most popular cookie is the Classic
Tollhouse, a chocolate chip cookie with organic
walnuts. Cyclists like the co-op chocolate cherry bar because it comes sealed in a clear compostable bag and won't crumble as they ride.
KH: it depends. Some have a coffee and a
bran muffin. But sometimes, they're like, "I
