Bike to Work Day
Colorado Department of Transportation’s Bike to Work Day is scheduled for Wednesday, June 22. Set a reminder to get some exercise by starting the workday early and riding your bike to work.
If your job is too far away, consider loading a bike on your car and park some distance from work, then jump on and ride. It is free and it is fun; it is good for the environment and for the body. As President John F. Kennedy once said, “Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.”
- A few reminders:
- Check tire pressure
- Wear a bike helmet
- Wear full-coverage shoes
- Wear reflective clothing
- Be polite
- Find a safe bike route
- Do not ride against traffic
- Ride safely on the right side of the lane (do not hug edge of the curb)
- Ride in a straight line, no weaving in and out of traffic
