SUMMARY:Bike to Work Day
DESCRIPTION:National Bike to Work Day takes place on the third Friday in May\, right in the middle of National Bike Month. The observance encourages us to bike to work\, but it also raises awareness of cyclists as they commute to and from work each day. \n\n\n \n#BikeToWorkDay\nAs more and more people take to bicycles for transportation to and from work\, it’s important for both cyclists and drivers to share the road safely. Both must be aware of the traffic laws and follow them. More and more communities are adding bike lanes to improve safety. In the United States\, from the year 2000 to 2011\, the number of bicycle commuters grew by more than 47 percent. National Bike to Work Day promotes the bicycle as a healthy and safe alternative for commuting to work. \nSome of the benefits of commuting to work by bicycle include: \n\nPhysical fitness – Cyclists get an aerobic workout before and after work. It’s also low impact exercise that is easy on the joints\, unlike jogging.\nFuel savings – They save fuel costs\, which puts more money back in their pockets.\nSmaller carbon footprint – By cycling\, they reduce carbon emissions resulting in cleaner air.\nAutomobile longevity – Get more life out of their motor vehicle by using it for more necessary trips.\n\nSafety First\nBiking is an enjoyable activity. But\, like all outdoor activities\, it’s important to remember safety is the key to enjoying your biking experience. \n\nAlways wear a helmet.\nWear reflective clothing.\nLimit distractions.\nRide with the flow of traffic\, not into traffic.\nLearn hand signals and use them.\n\n\n\n \nPARTICPATION IS CELEBRATION\n\nAttend a community biking event.\nShare biking tips with a child.\nTake a bike safety course.\nBike to work every day during the summer.\nCreate a biking club.\nLearn the history of bikes.\nShare your biking journal on social media using #BikeToWorkDay.\n\nSource Link
