Letter to the Editor: Great Time to Bike to Work

5/14/2014

 
Written by Michael Norris for Bike Walk Connecticut


I wanted to be sure that all Connecticut residents are aware that this is Bike to Work Week, and that Friday, May 16, is National Bike to Work Day. 

Bicycle commuting is on the rise statewide and nationwide, and how we get from one place to another matters a great deal. Riding improves health and saves money for the rider, at the same time that it reduces traffic for the motorist. More bicycle commuters is a win all around for the state.
