Cars Kill,

Bikes Thrill

Spring has sprung and you’re probably thinking about your summer body (and your finals...maybe not). The gym is boring, running is too much, and you can’t always find a pool nearby for you to swim. So now what?

Riding a bike is probably what you’re looking for. There’s no limit to cycling. Some ride with fat tires down rocky roads, some ride down long roads and burpy hills, some ride for sports, and some just ride for fun. Some ride for the desire of adrenaline rush and some do it for transportation. But we cyclists, have one thing in common, we receive great health benefits every time we bike. With National Bike Week 2017 held on May 15th - 19th and Bike to Work Day on May 19, bring out your bike and start zoom zoom.

Bike Fact
