Part of the Bike to Work Week celebration is a Bicycle/Bus/Car commuter race. The bicycle always wins!

Help the Environment

Biking reduces the number of cars on the road

This means there is less traffic

congestion and traffic jams

There are also less automobile

accidents

Automobiles produce many pollutants that hurt the environment,

but biking is completely pollution free!

Biking is good for your health

The ventilation systems in cars suck in

pollutants, so air inside cars is more polluted

Bicyclists ride above this polluted air and breathe healthier air

Improve your health Doctors recommend 30 minutes of moderate exercise everyday, biking allows you to exercise daily and will improve your health dramatically. You’ll be less likely to get sick, have the general fitness and health of someone 10 years younger, and add over 2 years to your

life expectancy
