It’s National Bike to Work Week!

According to the League of American Bicyclists, more than half of the U.S. population lives within five miles of their workplace, making bicycling a feasible and fun way to get to work. With increased interest in healthy, sustainable and economic transportation options, it’s not surprising that, from 2000 to 2011, the number of bicycle commuters in the U.S. grew by more than 47 percent.  Are you part of that 47%?

To celebrate Bike to Work Week, we’ll be blogging daily to bring you all the information you need to make your bike commute easier, safer, and more enjoyable.  Not sure what to wear to beat the weather?  Does carrying all your work stuff on a bike have you scratching your head? Or, are you still thinking about switching from the car to the bike and not quite sure how to make it all work?  You’re in the right place!  Be sure to check back daily!

To kick off the week, we’re bringing you a few smokin’ deals on a some great bikes that would make excellent commuters.  Stop in today for a test ride and start saving money (and feeling better in the process).
