Bike to work week starts today! And it's a great cool morning to start off our week?

If you don't bike to work regularly, think about the new things you discovered today along your ride to work! We will share ours tomorrow.

Construction season means impromptu bike lane season! Riding past traffic on a bike feels especially rewarding, particularly in areas where it's usually unsafe. And with the sidewalk being redone, no more bumpy, trip hazard sidewalks!
