May is time to get back on the bike month. I am encouraged by good weather and National decree. In fact next week May 10-16 is Ride Your Bike to Work Week. My co workers have started discussions about how they can get to work when they live up to 50 miles away.
The park and ride idea could work. Drive to a parking lot in town and then ride the last mile to work.
When one person expressed concern about biking to work and then getting a call from school to pick up a sick kid, a coworker quickly slid over his keys. They would gladly sacrifice biking to work and provide an emergency vehicle.
Don't find an excuse, find a reason to try riding your bike to work. Save Gas, Save Yourself, Save the World. Take your pick.
