Why Ride?
The Benefits of cycling
In the time we already spend getting to work, we can get the
exercise we need, but "don't have time for."
Commuting to work by bike or for neighborhood errands is within easy reach of people of any level of fitness and
a great way to get fit and stay healthy. Besides having fun and getting healthier, you’ll be improving our air quality and reducing traffic congestion.
The bicycle is the most energy-efficient form of travel ever devised—so you’ll
be reducing energy use and our dependence on fossil fuels.
- Improved health and fitness: Biking is a low-stress, low-impact exercise that can be performed by people of all ages and fitness levels.
- Saving money: The only fuel you need is food! Cut your insurance costs by driving fewer miles in your car too!
- Easier & less expensive parking: With the proper locking device, you can park your bike safely much easier; you can park your bike closer to your destination and for free.
- Environmentally-friendly: Biking reduces the number of cars on the road, reducing traffic congestion. It is also a non-polluting mode of transportation!
