So far this week the weather has not been very conducive for biking to work, but we can hope that next week will be nicer – just in time for National Bike to Work Week (May 16th-22nd).

Some advantages of biking to work:
-It is energy efficient
-It’s a good source of healthy exercise (trust me, you don’t even think about it as “exercising” when you’re using it to get to work)
-You save travel money by biking (gas, parking, car maintenance)
-Great way to reduce stress
-Helps you to wake up and in turn, increases your productivity at work
-Makes for a predictable commute time
-Reduces air, water, and noise pollution

Additionally, next Thursday May 20th from 8-10pm cyclists will “Merge into the Bike Lane” to celebrate Bike to Work Week at Merge Restaurant. Half off admission for those who ride their bicycle; a free bicycle valet will be available to park the bikes.

$20 admission but can be $10 if you ride a bike….

So get on your bike and ride!!!
