Friday is Bike to Work Day in Richmond and the weather won’t be an excuse to not join in the fun with hundreds (thousands?) of Richmonders hoping on their cycles and proving they can use alternative methods to reach work. Want some tips?
It is expected to be partly cloudy and around 60 degrees in the early morning hours Friday, and that would be on the heels of almost a week’s worth of rain. You want to bike so badly, just do it!
In Sunday’s Richmond Times-Dispatch, there was a wire story with advice on four reasons to bike to work:
-
Biking broadens your options: Think of biking as a way to become an empowered commuter.
-
The world is getting more bike friendly: It’s always easier to make changes in your life when you have a support network. And the community of bikers is only poised to continue growing.
-
A bike ride is more fun than the elliptical: The financial perks of biking to work don’t end at the gas station. Biking is also a reason to reconsider that gym membership.
-
It’s a low-maintenance habit: All you really need to bike to work is a comfortable pair of pants and shoes.
Join one of the Commuter Convoys and ride to work to celebrate Bike to Work Day! Riders will be meeting at sites and times listed below. All Riders will be asked to sign-up with the ride leader. Convoys will arrive in Monroe Park by 7:15am to meet Mayor Dwight Jones and other Dignitaries. At 7:30am, Mayor Jones will lead the group to the Capital via Franklin Street.
