National Ride Your Bike to Work Day

Today is National Ride Your Bike to Work Day, as part of National Bike Month. You can read more about National Ride Your Bike to Work Week here, here and here.


Benefits of riding your bike to work (or anywhere!):

• Decreased fuel cost
• Decreased car maintenance cost (bike tires are a lot less expensive than car tires)
• Decreased reliance on fossil fuel
• Decreased air pollution
• Increased physical activity

Would you ever consider riding your bike to work, or even walking if it were a realistic option. If not full-time,  perhaps even once a week? What would motivate you to take your bike versus your car?

If you have ever biked to work, what are your thoughts?
