National Bike Month

Did you know that May is National Bike Month? In connection with the designation, this week (May 11-15) is Bike-to-Work week. If you live within five miles of your workplace, I hereby challenge you to get on your bike and ride! Get on google maps and plot out your course, pump up those old tires, and give it a go. You gotta at least try it ONE day this week. Here are some reasons why I ride to work every day:

• 30 minutes or more of exercise per day
• Arrive to work alert and energetic, not groggy
• See parts of the town I may have otherwise missed
  
• Easier to fall asleep at night
• Avoided purchasing a second vehicle and associated costs (registration fees, insurance, gas etc.)
  
• Reduces pollution in Cache Valley
• Provided a new hobby

Should you decided to take the challenge, let me know how it goes!
