Fall is finally here, which means crisp, cool mornings have arrived. Just before we transition to bitterly cold weather, enjoy the great temperatures and ride your bike today. There are multiple benefits from choosing to cycle rather than drive. First of all, it’s a great way to shed a few pounds. Better yet, it’s a great way to save a few dollars. In this economy, saving one day in gas can make a big difference. However, more than any of the reasons above, choosing a bicycle helps protect the environment.It’s nothing new. We’ve known for years that our cars emit dangerous CO2 vapors that are destroying the environment. But did you know just how much CO2 we release? Cars release 20 pounds of CO2 every time a gallon of gas is used. Now imagine what a difference we could make if we all took our bikes to work this week? We can’t solve the world’s environmental problems in a day, but we can certainly help.So opt for a bike today, and the next day, and the day after that! Even if it does turn into a rainy day, there’s plenty of neat cycling gear to make it a refreshing, rather than drenching, experience.
