Commuting by Bike
When commuting by bike you:
- Lessen your impact on the environment. Biking has virtually no carbon footprint.
- Improve your health and reduce stress. On average, bike commuters lose 13 pounds during their first year of commuting by bike!
- Save money. Gas (and wear and tear on your car) is expensive; pedal power is free.
If your commute is too far to travel to by bike, consider riding to the train station or bus stop instead.
