As part of increasing awareness of bike riding benefits during National Bike Month, May 12 through 16 is designated as Bike to Work Week. It is estimated that roughly half of all Americans live within five miles of where they work. This makes for an ideal bike commute for millions.
Bike riding to work is a free mode of transportation, unlike public transportation or driving a car and paying parking fees on top of gas. With a bike as your way of getting to work, you avoid traffic, parking fees, and parking headaches each day. A bike is the fastest free and easily accessible way of getting around. It is also a great workout, meaning you will arrive to work invigorated and awake, ready to start the day!
Events such as Bike to Work Week are spreading the news about the benefits of biking. The number of bike commuters is growing by leaps and bounds each year. Dozens of major cities across the United States are promoting Bike to Work Week and seeing results first hand. In fact, most people who try Bike to Work Week end up sticking to bike riding afterwards.
