drive-by?

Welcome to Bike to Work Week!  Did you get passed by lots of cyclists today while you were in your car?  Did you feel like you were missing out on something?  (okay, maybe don’t answer that if you are an all-car person…)  Were you a cyclist that whizzed past lots of cars today?  Bet that felt awesome, huh? (It probably felt awesome even if you DO normally ride.)  Riding your bike to work, if you don’t normally, can be daunting, and sometimes sweaty; but, hopefully, lots of you are will get the jist why so many chose to ride all year ’round (or, at least in the non-rainy season)!

Chances are, you cyclists reached your destination more quickly.  There was a study done (when, by whom?) that tested cars, buses and bikes starting off at the same point and having the same destination, and I recall that the results were more favorable for bikes over buses and cars.  One of many great advantages to be a two-wheelin’ demon.  Another one is that this week, lots of you will probably be winning some great prizes for committing to riding to work.  Way to go!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHave fun, keep riding… and pray for our summer back!
