National Bike to Work Day
This Friday is National Bike to Work Day! That exclamation point is actually my attempt at sarcasm, because bikers on the streets annoy the sh*t out of me. They’re always in my way and slowing down traffic. They never stop for lights and think they own the road. Maybe I’m just bitter because I don’t bike?
Anyway, Bike to Work Day, celebrated nationally since 1956, has gained a lot more attention in recent years because it’s an environmentally-conscious event, and raises awareness for causes like global warming. It’s quite simple really, if you bike to work, you’re not driving and polluting the ozone layer, thus cutting back on global warming. Ah, what the heck, maybe I’ll bust out my old Mongoose Menace and ride to work tomorrow!
It’s estimated that biking to work will save you $5 a day on average – taking gas, wear & tear and tolls into consideration. 5 bucks a day isn’t too shabby these days.
There’s an official website encouraging you to “Take the Commuter Challenge”, which is also promoting walking to work as well – so they’re calling it “Bike-Walk to Work Day”. Check out their website to learn more.
