50 ways (large PDF) to celebrate Bike Month
Reasons to bike to work:
- Save time: biking the same distance is often shorter because you do not have to sit in traffic or find a parking spot. Taking back roads can often make the distance shorter than driving.
- Save money: you won't be using your car as much, so you won't need to fill up the gas tank as often.
- Help the environment: less driving means less pollution.
- Get fit: Biking to work is a great way to make working out a part of your daily routine and get at least the recommended 30 minutes a day.
- Enjoy the weather: you see more of the world when you are not stuck in traffic and can explore the scenic routes.
