May is National Bike Month
Bike to Work Week is May 12 to 16, 2008
Bike to Work Day is Thursday, May 15, 2008
On Thursday, May 15, 2008, tens of thousands of Bay Area residents will take to the streets for a zero emission commute on their bikes! As in past years, the Golden Gate Larkspur Ferry will host a Bike to Work Energizer Station at the entrance into the Ferry Terminal between 6 am and 9 am. Be sure to ride to the Larkspur Ferry on May 15th and stop by the Energizer Station to get your FREE goodie bag!
Almost 40% of Bay Area commuters live within five miles of their workplace, and if everyone who lives within this ideal distance pedaled to work on May 15, hundreds of thousands of cars would be off the road and air pollution that day would be reduced significantly. Experience bicycle commuting as a healthy and viable way to get to work! For more information on Bike to Work Day, visit www.bayareabikes.org.
